Chateau Pontet-Canet BENJAMIN de PONTET Pauillac from France, Bordeaux, Pauillac by Chateau Pontet-Canet (6 x 75 cl)

Jean-Francois de Pontet, royal governor of the Medoc, combined several vineyard plots in Pauillac in the early 18th century. Years later, his descendants added neighbouring vines in a place named Canet. This was the beginning of one of the largest estates in the Medoc, which quite naturally added the name of its founder to that of the land registry reference. The chateau team is conscious of the fact that they are following in the footsteps of more than three centuries of tradition, with each period contributing its technical innovations in the interest of quality and in order faithfully to reflect the terroir. This is a deep ruby-red, crimson wine, and sometimes almost black colour showing characteristic bouquet of black fruit , liquorice, and prune as well as fig, cedar, and sometimes cocoa overtones. Pontet-Canet combines power and elegance, as well as concentration and fullness on the palate. Rather sinewy in style, Pontet-Canet is clearly a classical wine with a tannic structure that provides excellent ageing potential. (12 x 75 cl)
