Pontet Canet
The rise of Fifth Growth Pauillac Château Pontet-Canet is undoubtedly 'one of the greatest success stories to come out of Bordeaux in recent years' in the eyes of Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW because it has 'raised itself to super-second, nay first growth, quality standards'. From the massive increase in demand we have seen over the previous several vintages, we would certainly agree with this statement.
Rising on a constant upward trajectory since being acquired by the Tesseron family in 1975, Pontet-Canet has long been enamoured for its superb terroir. Located next to Château Mouton Rothschild, it has become regarded as a savvy buy for consistently offering Second, or even First Growth, quality at a fraction of the price. They are also one of the pioneers of sustainability on the Left Bank having been the first major Bordeaux Châteaux to convert to biodynamics, having been certified by Biodyvin in 2010 and Demeter in 2014.

A stunning wine for this vintage although it’s still a bit shy on the nose (more spice than fruit showing than now). There’s wet earth, too, but on the palate it’s bursting with ripe yet subtle flavors. Very long and complex finish that goes on and on.HK$4,300.00
