Château Pontet-Canet Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé 2020

We are in the Pauillac region of Bordeaux. Here, on the left bank of the Gironde, this interesting red wine is produced. Château Pontet-Canet, 5ème Cru Classé, is the result of biodynamic farming, an agricultural approach that aims to respect and enhance the natural balance of the terroir. Certified by Demeter, this estate is a fine example of sustainability and respect for the environment, guaranteeing the production of authentic, high quality wines. The blend is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. This selection gives the wine a unique complexity and depth, with a structure that guarantees a long life. In the cellar, the approach is non-interventionist and aims to bring out the characteristics of the grapes and terroir to the full. Ageing takes place with great care, with 50% of the wine in new barriques, 35% in cement amphorae and 15% in one-year barriques. This process gives the wine a unique complexity and structure. Château Pontet-Canet is distinguished by its complex aromatic profile, with notes of blackcurrants and black cherries. Then nuts, thyme, cocoa powder and graphite. In the mouth, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with layers of ultra-fine, silky tannins that elegantly coat the palate, allowing the juicy, vibrant fruit to shine through.
