Pauillac, France

WineSaint
Dense aromas of blackcurrant and dark cherry mingle with cedar and mineral undertones. Powerfully built with gripping tannins that dominate the finish. The concentration is there, but this remains tightly coiled and demands patience. Built for the long haul.

→Fifth Growth Pauillac with the ambitions of a Second. Pontet-Canet has been one of Bordeaux's most closely watched estates since Alfred Tesseron's family began overhauling it in the 1990s, converting fully to biodynamics and drawing consistent scores that embarrass its classification.
