Chateau Pontet Canet 2016 Pauillac

BIO

Lisa Perrotti Brown 30. November 2018

The blend of the 2016 Pontet-Canet is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot. 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Around 55% of the wine was aged in new French oak barrels. 15% in two-year-old barrels and 35% in cement amphorae for 16 months. Deep garnet-purple colored. it opens with opulent scents of plum preserves. spice cake. hoisin and crème de cassis with fragrant wafts of potpourri. wood smoke and rose hip tea. Medium to full-bodied. rich and decadent. with loads of spicy layers. it has a firm. velvety texture with great freshness and incredible depth. finishing very long and on a compelling mineral note.

2016 marks the 40th vintage at Pontet-Canet for Alfred Tesseron. Winemaker Jean-Michel Comme mentioned it was wet at the beginning of the year. but thankfully the weather changed in late June. Thus. 2016 was a more normal/typical mildew year. so the disease pressure wasn’t too much of an issue. Then it was very dry until fall. He believes the vintage could be compared to 1961 or 2010. The result is an uninhibited. truly singular showing of Pontet-Canet this year—perhaps the richest. most sumptuous and hedonic expression of the vintage of all the great Left Bank wines.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pontet Canet 2016 im Januar 2019 wie folgt:

The 2016 Pontet-Canet is absolutely breathtaking. Powerful. ample and racy in the glass. the 2016 is one of the most exquisitely well-balanced young Pontet-Canets I can remember tasting. Savory. high-toned aromatics and brisk mineral notes lend energy and delineation as this vivid wonderfully alive wine opens up in the glass. The flavors are dark and incisive. but it is the wine's total sense of harmony that is most compelling. All of the elements are simply in the right place. The 2016 is tremendous. It's as simple as that. As is often the case. Pontet-Canet is one of the most singular wines in Bordeaux. Alfred Tesseron could have chosen to play things safe when he took over the management of the estate in the mid-1990s. Instead. he chose a very different path. No proprietor in Bordeaux has taken more risks over the last two decades than Alfred Tesseron. A commitment to biodynamic farming. sustainability across the entire estate more broadly. and the adoption of new concepts for Bordeaux. such as aging a portion of the wine in terra cotta. set Pontet-Canet apart from other properties in Pauillac and the Left Bank. Not surprisingly. the wine is also starkly different from the wines of neighboring estates.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

The aromas of ripe blackcurrants. iodine. sweet tobacco and fresh flowers are spellbinding. Full-bodied with mouth-expanding. massive and natural tannins. Impressive fruit with hints of prunes. The finish is long and powerful. Needs six to seven years to soften and come together. Try from 2025.

Chateau Pontet Canet 2017 Pauillac

BIO

Lisa Perrotti Brown im März 2020:

Composed of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Pontet-Canet gives up beautifully fragrant notes of rosehip tea, lilacs, cinnamon stick, cloves, dried leaves and underbrush with a core of kirsch, raspberry coulis, warm plums and red and black currants plus a waft of pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing, minerally and wonderfully elegant with a well-played texture of approachable, plush tannins and a long, fragrant finish. Beautiful. Aging took place in 50% new and 15% in second fill barrels and the remaining 35% in amphorae for 16 months, much of the material for which came from the soil at Pontet-Canet!

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pontet Canet 2017 Pauillac im Dezember 2019:

This has ethereal transparency to it with a fresh. red-berry and cherry nose. Terra-cotta and dried-flower notes. Plums. too. Quite complex. The palate has a very detailed tannin texture with attractive cassis and blueberries that hold very long. fresh and pure. Fruity and fresh. Try from 2023.

Chateau Pontet Canet 2018 Pauillac

BIO

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pontet Canet 2018 Pauillac im Januar 2021 wie folgt:

A complex nose of blueberries, elderberries, dried fruit, spice and dark chocolate. It’s full-bodied with a harmonious, balanced texture. The tannins are still firm and powerful, but there’s balance and finesse to the whole thing. Tight and reserved, yet long and energetic. The tannins open slowly. Dusty texture. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2024.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pontet Canet 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

A bright and open young wine with polished and soft tannins that spread out and fold into the wine. becoming barely discernible. yet the feel and beauty of them frames the wine in a beautiful way. Love the fruit and purity.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Pontet Canet 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Pontet-Canet is made up of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon. 22% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Picking began on September 24 and finished on October 5; aging is in 55% oak barriques and 45% amphorae. Very deep purple-black in color. it comes rolling sensuously out of the glass with all the opulence and seduction of Cleopatra on a carpet. It emerges with flamboyant scents of crème de cassis. preserved plums and blueberry compote. and after a few moments. it bursts with nuances of molten licorice. sandalwood. Chinese five spice. candied violets. dark chocolate and dried roses. followed by underlying earthy suggestions of fallen leaves. black truffles. underbrush and wild sage. Full-bodied. wonderfully dense. rich. impossibly layered and very. very decadent. the palate delivers all it promises on the nose. with a firm. wonderfully velvety frame and finishing with epic length. a scintillating wave of freshness and a beguiling perfume. This is one for true hedonists.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pontet Canet 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
The 2018 Pontet-Canet is a freak of nature. Dark. rich and explosive. the 2018 possesses off the charts richness and concentration. much of it coming from tiny yields of just ten hectoliters per hectare. or one third of a normal crop. The 2018 soars out of the glass with stunning aromatic intensity and depth. Black cherry. gravel. grilled herbs. leather. lavender and menthol stain the palate. Dense and hedonistically ripe. the 2018 is a stunningly beautiful wine. The grapes were crushed by hand. Because of the tiny yields. the entire production was vinified in Pontet-Canet's new smaller concrete vats. All winemaking was done manually. without the aid of external temperature control or electricity. The 2018 is aging in a combination of 55% new oak and 45% terra cotta amphora. Quite simply. I have never tasted anything like it. und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Pontet Canet 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 24. September und 5. October Dramatische Ernteeinbuße. nur ein Drittel der normalen Menge konnte produziert werden. Sehr kompakter und dichter Kern. Die Nase ist unglaublich süsslich viele dunkle Früchte. eine derart fruchtige und komplexe Nase habe ich auf diesem Weingut noch nicht gerochen. Ganz klar ein Wein wie aus einer anderen Welt. Im Mund unglaublich vibrierend. satt. druckvoll. frisch. verspielt. komplex und unendlich lang. Einfach eine neue Dimension. Leider erwartet uns nur ein drittel der üblichen Produktion. wie viele Flaschen davon für den Primeur Verkauf freigegeben werden. dass ist die grosse Frage und zu welchem Preis. Fest steht. der Wein ist einmalig! und vergibt ihm 98-100 Punkte.

Pym Rae 2016 Napa Valley Tesseron Vineyards

Lisa Perrotti Brown selbst beschreibt den Pym Rae 2016 im Oktober 2018 wie folgt:

A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Pym-Rae displays a deep garnet-purple color and reveals wonderfully fragrant notes of candied violets, wilted roses, damp soil and black tea over a core of red and black currants, black cherries and warm blackberries plus touches of cigar box and camphor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is evocatively singular, offering that rock-solid structure of mountain fruit, yet these are wonderfully ripe, silt-like tannins that beautifully support the elegant red and black fruit layers, finishing very long and very perfumed.

This is the first vintage off this estate following the purchase of the old Robin Williams vineyard and house by Chateau Pontet-Canet proprietor Alfred Tesseron back in 2016. The estate includes just under 20 acres of mature Cabernet Sauvignon (75%), Merlot (18%) and Cabernet Franc (7%) vines, planted in 1990. Now officially dubbed “Pym-Rae,” in respect for the original name given to the vineyard by Robin Williams (Pym and Rae are the middle names of two of Williams’s children), the site is perched at an average altitude of 1,500 feet (500 meters) on Mount Veeder. This first vintage off this vineyard is nothing like other wines I have tasted from Mount Veeder. And this makes sense, because to visit the property is to grasp how remote this side of the mountain is, and although this and other vineyards around it have long been in production, until now the fruit has been sold to large wineries and blended away in Napa Valley AVA wines. Currently, the wines are made at a winery facility up on Howell Mountain, one that I have visited and at which I witnessed the 2016 vintage in production. Tesseron’s number-one demand of a temporary facility to produce his first Napa wine was simple: absolute control. Here he has it, at least until his winery on Mount Veeder has been completed (currently in the planning stages). Thomas Comme, the son of Jean-Michel Comme, the winemaker at Chateau Pontet-Canet, is winemaker and has lived at the estate since 2016. This first 2016 vintage is truly exciting—a sympathetically crafted, evocative expression of this place that is a must-try for readers who are as passionate as I am in discovering another unique expression of this incredibly multifaceted region for the highest quality Bordeaux blends.

James Suckling beschreibt den Pym Rae 2016 im Januar 2020 wie folgt:

This is the debut vintage of this wine from the esteemed Bordeaux owner, Alfred Tesseron, who bought the property in the Napa mountains in 2016. Aromas of plums, wet earth, fresh herbs and tobacco. Some green olives. Turns to blueberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, yet reserved and layered with chocolate, walnuts and plums. Firm yet polished tannins give a framed sense to the wine. Savory. Racy and beautifully structured, it’s extremely drinkable already. Real wine.

Chateau Pontet Canet 2020 Pauillac

BIO

Die Bordeaux Subskription 2020 - Primeurs 2020

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Pontet Canet 2020 Pauillac :

The 2020 Pontet-Canet is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aging in 50% new French oak barriques, 35% concrete amphorae and 15% in one-year-old barrels. Harvest began on the 14th September for the Merlot, and the final lot of Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on 30th September.Opaque purple-black in color, it needs significant aeration and swirling to coax out evocative notes of black cherry preserves, raspberry pie, blackcurrant pastilles and damp soil, before launching into gorgeous floral and spice notions of red roses, cinnamon stick, star anise and cardamom, with a waft of crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals a lot of depth and polish, delivering mouth-coating red and black fruits with loads of fragrant earth and floral sparks, framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged. This is a singular, fascinating expression of the vintage and highly recommended!

98-99 Suckling-Punkte für denChateau Pontet Canet 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Pontet Canet 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

This is integrated, with superb density and beauty, offering blackcurrant, mineral and some bark. Full-bodied, yet so polished and refined. Crushed stone. Lots of expression and texture to this wine. Creamy. Pure and precise. Elegant, yet layered. Slightly plusher than the 2019. Dense, yet agile. Fresh as always. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 32% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. 50% new oak 15% old oak and 35% concrete amphorae.

Decanter.com (Jane Anson) : 97 / 100

Highly successful Pontet, one of the few Pauillacs that, for me, overperforms on its 2019. Inky purple with ruby reflections in colour. Lots of firm but upright tannins, a good dollop of graphite, pencil lead and cassis bud, there is depth through the mid palate shot through with wild blackberry, hawthorn, sage, rosemary and wild mint. It has personality, and is a little old school in the best possible way. Recommended. They have avoided the over-concentrated feel of some Pauillacs in the vintage, while remaining true to the appellation. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend, 50% new oak 35% amphoras, 15% one-year barrels. First full vintage for Mathieu Bessonnet who replaced the previous long-term director Jean-Michel Comme in 2020. 100% first wine, as it has been for the past four years. 45% will be aged in new oak barrels, 15% one year, 40% in amphoras. The mildew pressure was stressful in the early part of the year, but they had learnt from 2018, and brought in the manpower to get around the whole vineyard in a (very long) day, so their yields ended up being close to normal.
