Description

Chateau Pontet Canet, Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe , Pauliac Bordeaux 2001.
Now – 2018/2025 2 bottles (current bottle price £77)

‘A few years ago proprietor Alfred Tesseron gave us a blind tasting of four Pauillac wines from the 1996 vintage. They turned out to be Mouton, Latour, Lafite and Pontet-Canet, and the last-named lost virtually nothing by comparison with its lofty peers.‘ BBR

'Big and bloody and pretty sumptuous and attractive. Delivers all the way through the tasting experience. Luscious yet with lots of fine tannins underneath. Pichon Lalande? Wonderfully harmonious. There is freshness here too. Very long.' JR 18

'‘This vintage was totally forgotten,’ says Alfred Tesseron. ‘People wanted 2000.’ Ripe, smooth and sweet. Quite pure, with some elegance. Fresh with some minerality and fine chalky notes. Nice red cherry and plum fruit and a bit of tannic grip. Drinking well now but will probably hold for 5 or 10 years.' 93/100 Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak

'Deep core; some orange bricking. Very seductive big hit of exotic dried peel and new oak, gloriously met with pressing red berry fruit. Very classy indeed. Succulent, medium weight but not fat, great finesse. Thought Paulliac 05 and thrilled this property made such a good wine in this mediocre year. Top wine of the night for me.' Tim Hall, Scala Wine.

'Deep ruby core, pale garnet rim. This shows beautiful ripeness and purity on the nose, with red and black berries, notes of cedar and florals, some spice and vanilla. Medium/full bodied on the palate, with refined, rounded tannins, sumptuous red and black berry fruit, slightly creamy yet some savoury touches and with a vein of minerality underlying the fruit. It also has fresh acids, and a very good length if still slightly tight finish. Excellent, touching outstanding, and still with time in hand.' 94 pnts. Recent cellar tracker note Paul D.

'One of the great estates of the Medoc, Pontet-Canet has enjoyed increasing attention as well as a draconian selection process by owner Albert Tesseron ever since his breakthrough vintage of 1994.' Wine Advocate.June, 2004. 89 pnts Robert Parker

'I must say, the nose is quite delectable with wonderful definition and harmony. There are notes of blackberry, wild hedgerow, a touch of shellfish, a little cedar and smoke coming through with a hint of pencil box. The palate is medium-bodied and showing more finesse than the 2003, perhaps with finer tannins, a more feminine Pontet-Canet. Very focused, still quite primal, very seductive towards the rounded, plum finish with very faint hints of smoked meats. Great harmony and focus. This is certainly beginning to open although it would need serious decanting.' Tasted October 2009. 92 pnts Neal Martin

This is an extremely elegant wine, sadly the fact that the Chateau makes wines that approach first growth quality is now common knowledge and recent vintages command serious prices! Here is a chance to experience what the fuss is all about without breaking the bank.
