The aromas to this are really amazing, with a potpourri of spices and dried flowers, as well as redcurrants, sweet plums and even some peaches. Full-bodied with layers of ripe fruit and ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate in an encompassing yet always elegant and pure way. It’s succulent and unadulterated. Like crushed, perfectly ripened grapes. The length is rather endless. The tannins build. Fabulous young red. 35% in amphora and the rest in 50% new oak and 15% one-year oak. 65% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot, the rest cabernet franc and petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2028, but an absolute joy to taste now.

Very lush out of the gate, with waves of gently mulled plum, blackberry and black currant fruit that roll through slowly, lined with alder, sweet tobacco, worn cedar and singed savory notes. Delivers a late tug of iron that's well-buried on a finish marked by lingering perfume, resulting in an end impression of a rich wine that's very light on its feet. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2036. — JM

The 2019 Pontet-Canet offers up an expressive bouquet of plummy fruit, kirsch, dried herbs and peonies. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and seamless, with melting tannins, succulent acids, and a long, liqueured finish. Tasted twice, it's a wine I find somewhat perplexing: in a blind tasting, I might be more inclined to place it in Gigondas than Pauillac. I'm far from dogmatic when it comes to what the French call "typicité," and stylistic diversity surely enriches every appellation; but by the same token, I'm not convinced that this is the most compelling aesthetic that a Cabernet-based blend from this part of Bordeaux can realize. Checking in at 13.7% alcohol, some 35% of the production was matured in amphorae, which no doubt contributes to the wine's idiosyncratic identity. <br/>

Château Pontet Canet
Dieses legendäre Médoc-Château ist seit über vier Jahrzehnten im Eigentum der Familie Tesseron. Seine Wurzeln reichen bis ins frühe 18. Jahrhundert, als der königliche Gouverneur des Médoc, Jean-François de Pontet, mehrere Weinbergparzellen in Pauillac zusammenlegte. Etwa hundert Jahre später bestätigte die Weltausstellung von 1855 den Elitestatus des Gutes mit dem Rang eines Fünften Gewächses, das heute über 81 Hektar Weinberge auf den besten Kiesböden der Appellation verfügt. Pontet-Canet war zudem eines der ersten Bordeaux-Weingüter, die – seit dem Jahrgang 2010 – sowohl eine ökologische als auch eine biodynamische Zertifizierung besitzen. In den vergangenen vierzig Jahren hat die Familie aus Qualitätserwägungen, um das einzigartige Terroir ihrer Weine besser zur Geltung zu bringen, mehrere Renovierungen vorgenommen, darunter technische Innovationen im Bereich der Vinifikation. Heute untersteht die Kellerei Alfred Tesseron und produziert exemplarische Pauillac-Weine in Form großer, kraftvoller und dichter Roter mit geschmeidigem, wohlgerundetem Tannin, ergänzt durch intensive Düfte von schwarzen Johannisbeeren und Zedernholz. Sowohl der Zweitwein Hauts de Pontet als auch der beeindruckende Grand Vin Pontet-Canet sind makellos gemacht und bergen ein spektakuläres Alterungspotential.
