ASSEMBLAGE : 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot
Le vin se présente très coloré avec un nez intense et fin qui prend de la profondeur à l'agitation du verre. Bouche tendre, très fruitée et fondante, de bonne corpulence. Finale de bonne longueur à la tanicité un brin extraite. Attendre 2013 et avant 2035.
Robert Parker – 95+/100 Drink 2018-2050 The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure nose of graphite, charcoal, sweet creme de cassis, and a hint of scorched earth. Incredible concentration, stunning richness, and a 60-second finish result in a wine that transcends the vintage as well as this estate's 1855 classification. This enormously endowed, modern day classic is a legend in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2050+.Enormous credit is due proprietor Alfred Tesseron for turning things around at this estate in 1994, and continuing to produce first-growth level wines. Pontet-Canet is one of the few bio-dynamically farmed vineyards in the Medoc, and Tesseron is such a perfectionist in both the vineyard and wine cellars that his nickname among other bordelais is "Monsieur Bonsai." Jancis Robinson – 16,5/20 Drink - Dark, blackish crimson. Very dark. Something a bit strange on the nose. Vegetation plus molasses. Not totally compact or together. A bit soft and messy on the finish. Pretty dry and inky on the finish and lacking real concentration too - diffuse. Neal Martin – 94/100 Drink 2013-2025 The 2006 Pontet-Canet has a very lifted nose, very pure with an almost Pinot Noir-like allure. Black cherries, creme de cassis and a touch of blueberry with crushed stones in the background. Superb delineation and integration of new oak. With few more minutes in the glass, there is a touch of espresso just beginning to emerge. The palate is full-bodied with sinewy tannins, very good acidity and sense of symmetry, although I would say that this has closed down a little since I last tasted it. Good backbone and sense of vitality. Tannic, grippy and more masculine, graphite tinged finish. Drink 2013-2025. Tasted October 2009. |

Château Pontet Canet lies in the heart of the Pauillac appellation. Guy Tesseron, Cognac negociant and fine wine collector, bought the property in 1975 and today, his sons, Alfred and Gérard, have continued the gradual reconstruction of the domaine. Their model winery, which includes a metallic structure built by Eiffel, was extended in the 19th century to enable the harvest to be carried to the tanks by gravity. In 2005, Chateau Pontet Canet inaugurated a new winery that combined modernity with a firm respect of traditional techniques and enabled the vinification of small volumes and even greater precision in their winemaking.
