Pure, perfumed and precise, it has the ultra fine tannins and deep, seamless fruit of a much grander name. Cabernet Sauvignon leads, with plush Merlot and a fragrant lift from Cabernet Franc. It is a wine to lay down, though a long decant makes it a treat now with roast lamb or a great steak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDeep, dark and perfumed on the nose, with blueberry, blackberry, cassis and mulberry, then roses, violets, sandalwood, pencil shavings, graphite and licorice. The palate is medium to full bodied, seamless and pure, with ultra fine, caressing tannins, a creamy texture and a mineral streak of crushed stone. It finishes long and vivid, with real energy. Aged in 50% new French oak, 35% amphora and the rest in once used barrels. Lovely young with a decant, and built to age for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e98 Points - James Suckling (2023 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"A crunchy and vivid Pontet Canet\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e97 Points - Wine Advocate (2023 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"seamless and pure, it is layered and precise\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e97 Points - Vinous (2023 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"incredibly well put together\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon 52%, Merlot 39%, Cabernet Franc 6%, Petit Verdot 3%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet takes its name from Jean-François de Pontet, Governor of the Médoc, who bought land in the Canet area of Pauillac in 1757. It was ranked a Fifth Growth in 1855, and it has been owned by the Tesseron family, led today by Alfred Tesseron, since 1975. The estate began converting to biodynamic farming in 2004. In 2010 it became the first classified growth in the Médoc to be certified both organic, by Ecocert, and biodynamic, by Biodyvin, with Demeter biodynamic certification following in 2014. Draft horses work the soil, and the estate's concrete amphorae are made from its own gravel and limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Passion des Terroirs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62417244193155,"sku":"PDT16823","price":129.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/ChateauPontet-CanetPauillac.png?v=1790778747","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/chateau-pontet-canet-pauillac-2023","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
