After an anthology 2009, we could hope that the law of series would offer an equally great Pontet Canet 2010. Robert Parker made no mistake when he rewarded him with a 100. This vintage, the result of an organic and biodynamic viticulture approach, should be one of the very best wines produced on the estate among the more than three hundred vintages that have borne the name of Château Pontet-Canet. The wines of Château Pontet Canet, certified biodynamic since 2010, reveal the characteristics of the great Pauillacs: concentration, and complex aromas of cedar and black fruits. Over time, we notice that they have gained in freshness and balance, revealing notes of red fruits and sour cherry. The palate is sublime, of a breed apart, with a silky, almost Burgundian expression. The philosophy of the property sees this land as a real garden to be cared for with love, in the image of a child. This is why, but also for the health of the men and women who work there, the culture is certified biodynamic (an unprecedented fact in the bosom of Bordeaux's Grands Crus Classés) and the rhythm of life is respected. Peak: between 2024 and 2028 Insured shipping to all countries except the United States, China, Russia and Canada. In the cellar, you can imagine that the work is just as meticulous. If the blend is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (majority), Merlot and Cabernet Franc, a small proportion (1%) of Petit Verdot can be added during certain vintages in order to offer a nice complexity to the wine. In addition, the wine is aged in barrels with a proportion of new wood that does not exceed one third. And this for sixteen to twenty months. A small innovation, but not the least: while two-thirds of the wine is aged in undergrowth, the remaining third rests in amphora. Parker : 100/100
