2017 Château Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

A blend of 64 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 percent Merlot, two percent Petit Verdot, four percent Cabernet Franc. Delicate scent, pure red fruit, smooth texture, silky, energy, vitality, raspberry, redcurrant. It has a persistent, medium weight, long finish. Juicy cassis and cream on the nose. Good weight on the palate with lovely, cool red fruit, and a good explosion of acidity giving this a really good balance of fruit and freshness. There is a very good grip of finely integrated tannins, with great length. This year has more freshness. A very good wine that is showy and yet tuned-in with great minerality and cooling acidity.

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.

Chateau Pontet-Canet

Château Pontet-Canet is a large Pauillac estate that can trace its origins back to 1725, when Jean-François Pontet gave his name to the estate he had acquired. The wine was not château-bottled until 1972 and in 1975 the property was sold to Guy Tesseron, of the Tesseron family, one of the finest exponents of luxury, very old, aged Cognacs (Cognac Tesseron). The Tesserons also own Château Lafon-Rochet in St-Estephe. Today, Château Pontet-Canet is owned and run by Alfred and Michel Tesseron.
