Description

I have for sale 6 bottles of Chateau Pontet Canet 2007. This is a lovely wine and is drinking nicely now.

Although cropped incredibly low at just 28hl/ha – so there will very little of this superb wine to offer this year – this was a wholly natural result of twenty years’ vineyard work along biodynamic lines, encouraging the plants to self-regulate their yields; no green harvests were done, and no leaf-thinning or other invasive practices were carried out. Sadly the preponderance of mildew last year did mean that Alfred Tesseron’s team were forced to use chemical treatments (for the first time since 2004), but this remains the most naturally farmed Cru Classé property in the Médoc. They have even begun to work the vineyard with horses in an experiment which, if successful, could see tractors replaced completely on this important estate. Intense on the nose, fully ripe and lush berry fruit; dry on the palate with an intense fruit core and layers of sensual complexity; the fruit is lush and almost crispy in texture, very balanced and classy, with great length. Wonderful wine, a keeper. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot.

Reviews:

Wow. Minerals, cedar, almost like warm stones in the heat. And then some spice. A wine that’s gorgeous, beautiful to taste now, but you know there’s so much more coming to it. Will be better in three to five years. But it’s already gorgeous – decant a couple hours in advance.

Open and followed for eight hours. Effusive black fruit aromas. Lovely. Classic crieme de cassis, lead pencil and cedar. The mouth feel is ridiculous - creamy and polished. This is so caressing. The down vintage shows in the finish length and flavor depth, but this is remarkable. 92

Dark wine, garnet at the rim. Beautiful nose of plumbs, blackberries and vanilla. Nice silky tannins with toasted oak, plumb and cassis. A really interesting finish, a long one, with flavours that develop into an almost floral taste.

This wine is good...again another 2007 that drinks well...who says it was a bad year? Some of the most special wines that I have shared are from 2007. Keep them coming.

The nose had typical bordeaux aromas with soil/earth, slight wisps of smoke, dark berries and pencil lead. Most importantly, the nose was soft and supple with very seductive tones. The palate was more of the same with an elegant and silky texture. The wine had very nice grippy tannins. Fruit was dark but at the same time very airy and wispy. Absolutely no heaviness apart from very slight alcoholic heat from the nose. Finish was moderately short to medium and flavours dissipate towards the slightly alcoholic/heat induced end . Alas, I couldn't give this a higher score as the wine did not have the complexity nor the depth that a higher score warranted. All in all, an extremely pleasant, enjoyable and "quaff-ible" Bordeaux wine made by a fantastic house during a dismal vintage. Could have been much, much worse. A very well made wine and certainly a one of easy enjoyment.
