From the Pauillac appellation, Pontet Canet 2015 is a Fifth Growth Bordeaux red blend, primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The estate is renowned for its commitment to biodynamic practices under the guidance of Alfred Tesseron. This vintage achieved an alcohol level of 13.5%, benefiting from a warm season that enhanced fruit concentration and tannin structure. The wine underwent ageing in a mix of 50% new French oak and 35% concrete amphorae, which aim to replicate the vineyard`s unique clay characteristics. Aromas include Blackcurrants, graphite, and violets, offering a distilled experience of Pauillac`s mineral-driven essence.
