Description
EN PRIMEUR DISCOUNT VALID UNTIL 31/12/2026 - DELIVERY SPRING 2027
The history of Pontet-Canet dates back to the early 18th century, when the estate was founded. In 1705, the vineyard was established by Jean-François de Pontet, a major figure in the Bordeaux wine industry. He expanded the vineyard and built a château, from which the estate takes its name. At the end of the 18th century, the property came into the hands of the Canet family and became known as 'Château Pontet-Canet'. The Canet family played a major role in the development of the estate's vineyards and winemaking practices. In 1855, when Emperor Napoleon III ordered the classification of Bordeaux wines for the Exposition Universelle de Paris, Pontet-Canet was classified as a fifth growth (Cinquième Cru) in the official Bordeaux wine classification of 1855. This classification recognized the historical reputation of the estate and the quality of its wines. In the 20th century, the Cruse family, wine merchants from Bordeaux, acquired Pontet-Canet.
The Pontet-Canet vineyards cover approximately 81 hectares (200 acres) of prime Pauillac terroir. The vineyard is planted with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (typically around 65-70%), as well as Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
The Pontet-Canet 2024 continues the newfound freshness of last year. Subdued this year and yet unmistakably Pontet-Canet and Pauillac. Lots of freshness and also energetic. Fresh blackberries, blackcurrants. Lots of floral notes. Smoke, graphite, salt and flint. Clear mineral undertone. Very refined tannin structure. Silky mouthfeel. Layered and complex: builds up to a long finish. One of the most successful wines of 2024.”
The 2024 is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc.
Maturation: 50% in new oak barrels, 15% in one-year-old oak barrels and 35% in concrete amphorae.

Professional Reviews
96/100
“…this delivers a finessed, slim-style of Pauillac, with plenty of ageing potential and quiet confidence. One of the successes of the vintage.” – 94 punten, Jane Anson
“Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Rich nose with opulent character, ripe blackcurrants, blackberry jam, sweet plums, hints of dark chocolate, elegant toasting, balmy spices and hints of liquorice. On the palate well-structured with firm yet ripe tannins, quite full-bodied with very good length, well balanced with good depth. A style and concentration different to the previous vintages”. Markus Del Monego 96/100

Pontet-Canet is a wine producer based in Pauillac, Bordeaux. The estate is known for its high quality red wines, made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon, and is classified as a fifth growth (Cinquième Cru) in the official Bordeaux wine classification of 1855.
History of Pontet-Canet
The history of Pontet-Canet dates back to the early 18th century, when the estate was founded. In 1705, the vineyard was founded by Jean-François de Pontet, an important figure in the Bordeaux wine industry. He expanded the vineyard and built a castle, from which the estate takes its name. At the end of the 18th century, the property came into the hands of the Canet family and became known as 'Château Pontet-Canet'. The Canet family was instrumental in developing the estate's vineyards and winemaking practices. In 1855, when Emperor Napoleon III ordered the classification of Bordeaux wines for the Exposition Universelle de Paris, Pontet-Canet was classified as a fifth grow (Cinquième Cru) in the official Bordeaux wine classification of 1855. This classification recognized the historical reputation of the estate and the quality of its wines. In the 20th century, the Cruse family, wine merchants from Bordeaux, acquired Pontet-Canet. The Cruse family has made significant improvements to the estate and winemaking processes. In the mid-2000s, Pontet-Canet underwent a remarkable transformation. The estate, led by owner Alfred Tesseron (later owner of Tesseron Estate), embraced biodynamic farming practices. This marked a major shift towards organic and sustainable viticulture, avoiding synthetic chemicals and emphasizing the holistic relationship between the vineyard, the soil and the environment.
Terroir of Pontet-Canet
Pontet-Canet's vineyards cover approximately 81 hectares (200 acres) of prime Pauillac terroir. The vineyard is planted with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (usually around 65-70%), as well as Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Production of Pontet-Canet
The winemaking process at Pontet-Canet involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, with fermentation taking place in temperature-controlled wooden barrels. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, usually for 16 to 20 months, depending on the vintage. Pontet-Canet wines are known for their deep color, concentrated fruit flavors and a structure that allows them to age gracefully. They often exhibit a balance between power and elegance, with fine tannins and complex aromas. It is believed that the estate's commitment to biodynamic farming has contributed to the purity and expression of the terroir in their wines.
