The precision and balance of a Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac

The property

5th Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, the Château Pontet-Canet has experienced an irresistible rise that makes it one of the most emblematic brands of the Médoc. Managed by Justine and Alfred Tesseron, Château Pontet-Canet has established itself as one of the pioneers of biodynamics in the Pauillac appellation with results exceeding all expectations. From vintage to vintage, the property stands out as one of the most beautiful references of the left bank of Bordeaux.

The vineyard

A reference among the great wines of Pauillac, Château Pontet-Canet watches over vines maintained with the utmost respect for the environment. These are worked with horses to avoid soil compaction. Biodynamics is applied on the estate. Through their work and knowledge of the vineyard, the technical teams of the property help the vine to give its best.

The vintage

A cool and wet winter and May delay flowering, before a particularly dry summer punctuated by rains in mid-August. The significant rainfall in mid-September does not impact the health of the vineyard until the harvest, carried out between September 18 and October 3.

Blend

Cabernet sauvignon (65%), merlot (30%), cabernet franc (4%) and petit verdot (1%).
