Product description
This distinguished red wine hails from France, specifically the renowned Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Chateau Pontet Canet, classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification, has been under the stewardship of the Tesseron family since 1975. Known for their pioneering biodynamic practices in Bordeaux, the estate emphasizes a deep respect for terroir and nature, resulting in wines of exceptional purity and energy.
Wine Description
The 2022 vintage of Chateau Pontet Canet showcases a deep, opaque ruby hue that hints at its concentration. On the nose, it bursts with vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and blueberry, layered with subtle notes of violets, graphite, and cedar. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, yet impeccably balanced, displaying lush dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and an undercurrent of crushed stone minerality. The finish is long and graceful, revealing touches of cocoa and spice.
