DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Chateau Pontet-Canet is a Pauillac estate in Bordeaux, where Alfred Tesseron has led a long run of improvements since the early 1990s. The 81-hectare vineyard is farmed biodynamically and much of the work is done with horses. The grapes are hand-sorted at harvest.
The 2015 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. It was fermented with native yeasts in concrete vats, then aged about half in new French oak and around a third in concrete amphorae. It was also the first vintage made without a second wine, so all the fruit went into this bottling. Expect blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis with cedar, tobacco, graphite and violet. Full bodied, with fine, firm tannins and a long finish. Classic Pauillac, built to age.
Decant for two hours and serve at 62 to 65°F in a large Bordeaux glass. Pair with roast lamb, prime rib or aged cheddar.
