Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac 2014
- Red
- 75cl
- ABV 13.5%
Crimson to the rim. Initially subdued but opens with aeration. Firm, minerally and upright with dark-fruit notes and a dash of mint. Tannins compact and fresh. Really quite classic and Pauillac in style but the appealing fruit makes it approachable already. A pleasant surprise among the less celebrated years. Should be good value. Jancis Robinson (17)

Pontet-Canet is a 5eme Cru Classe, biodynamicially farmed estate located in the appellation of Pauillac. Alfred Tesseron owns and runs this sizeable estate, which covers 80ha adjoining the famous Mouton Rothschild. The terroir is elevated gravel and the vines are usually a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, yielding pure wines with a distinctively smoky edge. Quality has steadily climbed here since the mid-1990's and Pontet-Canet is now one of the most exciting and in vogue properties in the Medoc. With stringent fruit selection at harvest time and brand new, innovative cement fermentation tanks, Alfred is set to keep these wines at the forefront of modern Bordeaux.
