2012 Château Pontet Canet - Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé - 1 Flaske (0,75 l)

The 2012 vintage :
A mild winter gave way to a very rainy spring, slowing down the vegetative cycle and especially flowering. From mid-July onwards, a hot and dry climate set in until the beginning of autumn marked by significant rainfall. Rigorous sorting during the harvest made it possible to select only the high quality grapes.

Assembly :
Cabernet Sauvignon (65%)
Merlot (30%)
Cabernet Franc (4%)
Petit Verdot (1%).

The wines of Château Pontet Canet, certified biodynamic since 2010, reveal the characteristics of the great Pauillacs: concentration, and complex aromas of cedar and black fruits. Over time, we notice that they have gained in freshness and balance, revealing notes of red fruits and sour cherry. The palate is sublime, of a breed apart, with a silky, almost Burgundian expression.
The philosophy of the property sees this land as a real garden to be cared for with love, in the image of a child. This is why, but also for the health of the men and women who work there, the culture is certified biodynamic (an unprecedented fact in the bosom of Bordeaux's Grands Crus Classés) and the rhythm of life is respected.
