Château Pontet-Canet 2023 Pauillac (1.5L)

Château Pontet-Canet is a wine from Pauillac, classified as a fifth grand cru since 1855. Jean-François de Pontet began assembling the land in the eighteenth century, and the Cruse wine-merchant family later owned the estate. Guy Tesseron bought it in 1975, and under the Tesseron family it became one of Bordeaux's best-known biodynamic estates. Horses returned among the vines, and other ageing vessels were tried alongside classic barriques. The following generation, including Justine Tesseron, maintains that conviction. On Pauillac's gravel soils, the approach is to understand the vineyard and adapt the work to it.
