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
Le Château Pontet-Canet, domaine mythique du Médoc et fief de la famille Tesseron depuis plus de quatre décennies, trouve ses fondements au début du 18ème siècle. A cette époque, Jean-François de Pontet, gouverneur royal du Médoc, a réuni plusieurs parcelles de vignes à Pauillac. Environ un siècle plus tard, lors de l’Exposition Universelle de 1855, le château a été inscrit an rang de Cinquième Grand Cru Classé, confirmant ainsi sa place parmi l’élite du Médoc. Ses 81 hectares de vignes bénéficient d’une situation privilégiée sur les meilleurs terroirs graveleux de l’appellation. Dès le millésime 2010, Pontet-Canet a été parmi les premiers domaines bordelais à décrocher une certification, à la fois en agriculture biologique et en biodynamie. Depuis quarante ans, dans un souci qualitatif et pour mieux exprimer son terroir unique, la famille a entrepris plusieurs travaux de rénovation au domaine, dont des innovations techniques dans le chai de vinification. La propriété est dirigée aujourd’hui par Alfred Tesseron et propose à travers ses vins la quintessence de Pauillac. Denses, massives et puissantes, ses cuvées offrent aussi des tanins souples et ronds rehaussés par des parfums intenses de cassis et de cèdre. Son second vin, les Hauts de Pontet, lui aussi doté d’une capacité de vieillissement spectaculaire, fait l’objet des mêmes soins méticuleux que le grand vin, Pontet-Canet.
