Alfred Tesseron of Château Pontet Canet has been making steady progress since the 1990s. A team of 30 people manually sort all grapes consisting of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. From the vineyard plots to the cellar, respect for the vines and fruit is their guiding principle. For the last 10 years the vineyard has been organic and bio-dynamic.
Tasting Notes:
“Particularly successful during En Primeur, and even better now, just bursting out of the glass. Plump and fruit forward, plenty of character, with spiced cedar and smoked earth, violet and iris notes play around the edges, but the focus is on creamy cassis, bilberry, cocoa bean and aniseed. Last vintage with Jean-Michel Comme as technical director, and you really now see the skilled use of amphoras, which added notes of austerity in the early years (they introduced them in 2012) but now showcase the precision of the fruit. 100% 1st wine, with the ageing taking place in a mix of 45% new oak barrels, 15% one year barrels and 40% amphoras.” Score: 98 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, October 2021
Serving Suggestions:
Pairs well with classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck as well as rich dishes that include fish, mushrooms and a myriad of hard and soft cheeses.
