CHATEAU PONTET-CANET, 2022

PRIMEURS - LIVRAISON 2025

" What a finish on this Pontet-Canet. So much energy and brightness. It’s full-bodied yet so tight and focused with superb fruit and transparency. It is racy and fine with super fine texture. It’s like crushed cabernet sauvignon with cassis, tobacco and cigar box. Licorice and spices. Freshness of the seed. " - James Suckling

History and anecdotes
Created by Jean-François de Pontet at the beginning of the 18th century, the vineyard was enlarged a few decades later by the acquisition of plots of land in the Canet area. Château Pontet-Canet is recognized for the great quality of its wines, and this is confirmed by being classified as the 5th Growth of Pauillac in 1855. In 1975, Château Pontet-Canet became the property of the Tesseron family, a cognac merchant. In 1994, Alfred Tesseron revolutionized the methods of vineyard management by adopting sustainable farming techniques based on biodynamics. Château Pontet-Canet is one of the Médoc properties that has known only three families of owners.
