18 Rene Gabriel
Tiefes, sattes Granat, dicht in der Mitte. Nobles, tiefgründiges Bouquet, einer der wenigen Pauillacs der in seiner Konzentration auch eine schöne Portion Süsse zeigt, viel blaue Beeren, noble Hölzer und ein Hauch schwarzen Trüffel im Untergrund aufweisend. Im Gaumen wohl proportioniert, dichtes Extrakt, mit Fleisch bestückt und mit passenden, verlangenden Tanninen, gewaltige Cabernetessenz im langen Nachhall vermittelnd. Grosser, klassischer Pauillac mit einem nicht zu erwartenden Potential für diesen Jahrgang. Ist unter den mit 18/20 Punkten bewerteten Médocweinen der Beste und kann in 15 Jahren mit grösster Wahrscheinlichkeit 19/20 erreichen! Wieder eine Meisterleistung von Alfred Tesseron. 10: Bei einem Diner auf Branaire getrunken. Alfred Tesseron war auch dabei. Und so konnte ich ihm ein grosses Kompliment für diesen genialen 2007er machen. Wow - ist das geil! Jetzt schon! warten (2016 - 2036)

Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Pontet-Canet has an upfront bouquet with (for the vintage) quite lavish red and black fruit tinged with violet and creme de cassis. The palate is sweet and opulent, displaying impressive concentration and a velvety blueberry and black cherry finish that lingers long in the mouth. You would never ascribe this to the 2007 vintage, a Pontet-Canet determined to overcome the limitations of the growing season. In a sense, it succeeds, yet it must sacrifice some of its Bordeaux typicité in the process. Tasted February 2017.

Currant and dark licorice aromas follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a caressing finish. A beauty. Best after 2013. 20,835 cases made. –JS

Château Pontet Canet
The legendary Médoc estate, Château Pontet-Canet has been under the ownership of the Tesseron family for over four decades. However, its history dates back to the early 18th century, when royal governor of the Médoc, Jean-François de Pontet put together several vineyard plots in Pauillac. Just about a century later, the Universal Exhibition of 1855 confirmed the château’s elite status with a Fifth Growth rank. With 81-hectares of vineyards planted on the best gravel soils of the appellation, Pontet-Canet was one of the first Bordeaux estates to be both Certified Organic and Biodynamic starting with their 2010 vintage. Over the past forty years, in the interest of quality, to better reflect the unique terroir of their wines, the family has made several renovations to the estate, including technical innovations in the winemaking department. Today, the winery is run by Alfred Tesseron and produces quintessential Pauillac wines. They are big, powerful and dense reds with supple, well-rounded tannins that are complimented with intense fragrances of cassis and cedar. Both with spectacular ageing potentials, the estate’s second wine, Hauts de Pontet and the impressive Grand Vin, Pontet-Canet are impeccably made.
