Château Pontet-Canet Cru Classé Pauillac 2001

We were lucky enough to come across a couple of bottles of this wine at a good price as it was was bought en-premier by one of our suppliers and has been in their bond ever since.

Pontet Canet has improved beyond recognition since the early 1990s. Alfred Tesseron has overseen much of the investment which has gone into transforming this Chateau which is now an impeccably run estate following strictly biodynamic principles.

The result of drastic changes in the vineyard and winery has seen the production of rich, concentrated, and modern Pauillacs that are universally applauded. Presently, their wines are received as among the very best that Pauillac has to offer.

Certainly ready to drink but will hang on for quite a few years yet. (Best to buy 2!)
