Suckling over Château Pontet-Canet 2022
The concentration of dried herbs such as thyme, sage and mint with blackcurrants and Spanish cedar is mesmerizing. Full-bodied with a dense and intense palate, this has creamy, crunchy tannins and a long and flavorful finish that goes on for minutes. Punchy and rich with lots of power. The real identity of Pontet-Canet comes through despite the hot and dry growing year. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Château Pontet-Canet 2022
Château Pontet-Canet 2022 is an outstanding Pauillac that perfectly reflects the exceptional quality and terroir of this renowned appellation. The cuvée, composed predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, presents a deep, dark color and unfolds a complex bouquet of black currants, cassis, ripe cherries, and blackberries, complemented by floral notes of violets, herbs, and subtle aromas of cedarwood, graphite, and smoke. On the palate, the wine displays remarkable freshness and elegance, supported by finely structured, silky tannins and a precise, lively acidity. The mineral notes of the terroir and the subtle spiciness add additional complexity and depth. The finish is long and complex, with a harmonious balance between fruit, spice, and the earthy, smoky notes typical of Château Pontet-Canet. This vintage is a fascinating expression of the winery, showing great potential in its youth but also gaining complexity over several years.
