{"title":"Château Pontet-Canet","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet is the Pauillac fifth growth that now drinks like a much higher rank. Owned by the Tesseron family since 1975 and farmed biodynamically, it makes deep, pure Cabernet Sauvignon with remarkable energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet: from fifth growth to Pauillac star\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate takes its name from Jean-François de Pontet, an 18th-century royal official in the Médoc, and from the Canet area whose vineyards his descendants added. In the 1855 classification Pontet-Canet was ranked a fifth growth. The Cruse family, Bordeaux merchants, owned it for about a century from the 1860s, and in 1975 Cognac merchant Guy Tesseron bought the property. His son Alfred Tesseron took over the running of the estate in 1994 and, with technical director Jean-Michel Comme, set out to make Pontet-Canet one of the most talked-about châteaux in Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard sits in the north of Pauillac on deep gravel, planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a little Petit Verdot. Today critics regularly place the wine alongside the second growths, and many vintages since the mid-2000s are among the best in the commune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBiodynamic Pauillac: horses, dolia and a living vineyard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePontet-Canet began trials of biodynamic farming in 2004, at a time when no other classified growth in the Médoc dared. The whole vineyard followed, with organic and biodynamic certification in the years after. Horses work much of the vineyard instead of tractors, because they do not compact the soil. In the cellar, part of the wine ages in concrete amphorae called dolia, designed by the estate, alongside French oak barrels. The result is a Pauillac with ripe cassis, violet, graphite and cedar, wrapped in very fine tannins and lifted by a freshness that keeps the wine vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePontet-Canet vintages and large formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection covers a deep run of the grand vin. Château Pontet-Canet 2000 is fully mature, while 2005 and 2006 in magnum and 2009 and 2010 show the first great biodynamic years: dense, powerful and still young. 2014 and 2015 are classic and polished, and 2016 is a monumental Pontet-Canet, here in bottle, magnum and double magnum. 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 complete the modern line-up, several of them in magnum or imperial for long cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors there are two cases: a vertical case of 2008 to 2013, and a case of older vintages from 1990 to 1999, which shows the estate before and during its rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLes Hauts de Pontet-Canet, the second wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLes Hauts de Pontet-Canet is made from younger vines and lots not chosen for the grand vin.

The nose is intense and layered: ripe blackcurrants, blackberries and cassis lift from the glass, intertwined with notes of graphite, cedar, pencil shavings, violets, and a touch of warm spice and cocoa from élevage. Subtle hints of crushed rocks, tobacco leaf and licorice underscore the wine’s Pauillac pedigree.\n\nOn the palate, this is full-bodied and concentrated, yet strikingly fresh and poised. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings firm, fine-grained tannins and a core of blackcurrant and plum fruit, while Merlot adds mid-palate flesh and succulence. Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot contribute floral tones, spice and a touch of savory complexity. You can expect flavors of dark berries, cassis, cocoa nib, sandalwood, and graphite, wrapped in a vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. The structure and depth suggest excellent aging potential; stored under proper conditions, this 2018 should evolve beautifully for 15–25+ years, gaining further complexity and refinement over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet lies in Pauillac, on the gravelly rises just opposite Château Mouton Rothschild, a terroir famed for its deep gravel soils over limestone and clay that are ideal for producing structured, long-lived Cabernet-based wines. The estate’s 81 hectares are planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all cultivated according to certified organic and biodynamic principles. Much of the vineyard work is done by horse rather than tractor to protect soil life, and the estate relies on its own cows and donkeys for natural compost. Grapes are harvested by hand, parcel by parcel, at optimal ripeness, with meticulous sorting to ensure only pristine fruit enters the cellar. Vinification is carried out with a gentle, minimalist philosophy to preserve purity: fermentations proceed in a mix of concrete and oak, with careful extraction to capture fine tannins rather than sheer power. The wine is then aged in a combination of French oak barrels (with a judicious use of new wood) and large vessels, allowing the character of the fruit and terroir to shine through while building texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pauillac is a natural partner for richly flavored, refined dishes.

The wine’s depth and structure also work beautifully with dishes like truffled poultry, mushroom-based sauces, earthy lentil ragouts, and aged hard cheeses such as Comté or mature cheddar. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to let the aromatics fully express themselves. In its youth, decanting for 2–3 hours will help soften the tannins and open the bouquet; as the wine matures, a gentle 1–2 hour decant is usually sufficient, primarily to let it breathe and to separate any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet traces its origins back to the early 18th century, when Jean-François Pontet and later Pierre-Bernard de Pontet assembled the estate that would give the château its name. Classified as a Fifth Growth in the historic 1855 Bordeaux classification, the property has lived through highs and lows, including a turbulent period under the Cruse family that culminated in a forced sale in 1975. The purchase by Guy Tesseron marked the beginning of a new era, with a strong focus on quality in both vineyard and cellar from the 1980s onward. In 1989, the appointment of Jean-Michel Comme as manager and winemaker, and later the leadership of Alfred Tesseron (joined by Mélanie Tesseron in 2005), pushed Pontet-Canet to the forefront of innovation in Bordeaux. Driven by a deep conviction in organics and biodynamics, they gradually converted the estate’s vineyards, making Pontet-Canet the first 1855-classified growth to be fully certified organic and biodynamic in 2005. Today, with horses working the vines, estate-grown compost, and a philosophy of working with nature rather than against it, Château Pontet-Canet is regarded as one of the most visionary and environmentally conscious properties in Bordeaux, consistently producing wines that rival – and often surpass – many higher‑classified neighbors in quality and acclaim.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Pontet-Canet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256272015697,"sku":"VRB0106","price":197.08,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Roedvin-frankrig-bordeaux-pauillac-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-cabernet-franc-petit-verdot-chateau-ponte-carnet-2018-oeko-75cl-145-vinogvelsmag.png?v=1783463194"},{"product_id":"2023-chateau-pontet-canet-pauillac-075l","title":"2023 Château Pontet-Canet Pauillac 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet is one of Pauillac’s most compelling names, known for combining the power of Left Bank Bordeaux with remarkable purity and precision.
