Pontet-Canet 2006

Pauillac, France
8.0
WineSaint
Powerful and muscular, with layers of blackcurrant, cedar and crushed stone that build beautifully in the glass. The palate shows impressive depth and concentration, driven by firm but ripe tannins that grip without overwhelming. Classic Pauillac structure with serious aging potential through 2030.

→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.
