Chateau Pontet Canet, a classic 5th Growth Paulliac, produces what many people call the most popular and in-demand Bordeaux of the appellation. Pontet Canet is a powerful Bordeaux wine. It’s concentrated, balanced, tannic, and charming as well.

In 1975, the estate was purchased by Guy Tesseron, a wine grower and négociant in Cognac. In 1994, Guy entrusted the management of the estate to his son Alfred Tesseron, who had worked alongside him for twenty years.

Pontet-Canet is the first renowned large-scale Bordeaux wine estate to venture into organic and biodynamic farming, was also the first among the Grands Crus Classés to be awarded double certification for the whole vineyard.

Grape Blend: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure nose of graphite, charcoal, sweet creme de cassis, and a hint of scorched earth. Incredible concentration, stunning richness, and a 60-second finish result in a wine that transcends the vintage as well as this estate’s 1855 classification. This enormously endowed, modern day classic is a legend in the making
