WineSaint
Dark berries and cedar flow with understated elegance. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins that feel resolved and approachable now. Herbal notes and graphite add classic Pauillac character, though the wine stops short of the estate's typical intensity.

Pontet-Canet
→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.
