Château Pontet-Canet - Pauillac - Rouge - 2023

In addition to the qualitative feat of the vintage, Pontet Canet doubles the pleasure with an edifying price!

It's at the top, and with what grace! Rated 96-98+/100 by Parker, Pontet-Canet beats all the odds and takes the top step of the podium.

This 2023 is a "Monsieur Plus": finer tuning, earlier harvesting of the Merlot (39%) at its peak of freshness, for even tighter, more explosive fruit, and Cabernets (58%) waited until they are melting in their core, hemmed in by outrageously pulpy tannins... Maturing is also more discreet, in second curtain, with 50% new wood, a third in amphorae and one-wine barrels too. A subtle alchemy that illuminates and transforms the cru!

On a par with the myths, the 2023 Château Pontet-Canet outclasses its vintage and soars to new heights. Cultivating a style of its own, the cru continues to navigate on another planet, exploring the boundaries of refinement and grace of great Bordeaux. The standard-bearer of a model biodynamic culture, with horse-riding, vinification and partial ageing in concrete eggs, this great Pauillac signature bears the upheavals of its time with uncommon intuition.

Don't miss out: the wine is immense and the price edifying!
