Pontet Canet 2010

Pontet-Canet

Case Format: 12x37.5cl

Max score: 100.0

Château Pontet Canet is a large fifth-growth property in Paulliac who can trace its history back to 1725. It is known worldwide for its environmental credentials, due to the impact of its previous technical director Jean-Michel Comme, who is considered a leading figure in biodynamic practices. Its 78 hectares of vineyard contain Cabernet Sauvignon (c.63%), Merlot (c.32%) and Cabernet Franc (c.5%), and border the illustrious Mouton Rothschild. Taken under the ownership of Alfred and Michel Tesseron, the quality of Pontet-Canet has vastly improved, seeing it blossom into a full-bodied wine that is brimming with ripe black fruits and integrated tannins.

The aromas to this are incredible with blueberry, minerals, dried flowers, and stones. It goes to dried meat and spices. Full body and incredibly integrated with blackberry, licorice, and minerals. Theres a wonderful purity to this. It goes on for minutes. The quality of tannins is amazing. Seamless. Theres an amazing transparency that shows you all the elements of the wines unique terrior. Try after 2018.

Very dark and glossy. First bottle has a modest nose – low-key TCA? Second bottle: Super clean and brilliant – glossily alluring on the nose. Not heavy in any way. Quite lifted and light. Very ethereal. Maybe could have done with just a little more concentration? But presumably there is a deliberate attempt to be light and lifted?
