Pontet-Canet: A Distinctive Pauillac

In Pauillac, Château Pontet-Canet stands out for its progressive approach to viticulture and winemaking. Proudly working the vineyard using biodynamic methods, even when this results in very small yields in difficult vintages, the team then uses concrete eggs as part of the maturation process. The result of all this is a style of wine that is quite singular on Bordeaux's Left Bank.

Modern Pontet-Canet tends to emphasise purity of fruit, a particularly silky texture and very fine-grained tannins, ensuring the wines are quite accessible while young. This contrasts with a generally more structured, earthy style among neighboring properties.

We have a selection of recent vintages in stock, alongside the 2011 and 2014, which have benefited from more than a decade of bottle age. The 2018 is the most full-bodied and structured, while the 2019 and 2020 offer a compelling balance of depth, structure, and freshness.
