Pauillac, France

WineSaint
Dark fruit, graphite and lavender build with stunning intensity across a palate of remarkable depth. Formidable yet polished tannins provide structure without weight, while mineral precision drives the exceptionally long finish. Biodynamic viticulture shows in every layer. This is Pauillac at its most refined and powerful.

→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.
