2015 Chateau Pontet Canet

ABOUT THE WINE. Classified as a 5eme Cru Classe, own by the Tesseron family also owner of Lafon Rochet in St Estephe. Today, Château Pontet-Canet is owned and run by Alfred and Michel Tesseron.  The Tesserons have vastly improved the quality of the Pontet-Canet wines which are now full-bodied and packed with ripe, chewy, black fruits and fine tannins with great aging potential.. TASTING NOTES. The wine has an impressively intense colour and a complex nose dominated by fresh fruit aromas. It is huge on the palate, powerful, vibrant and incredibly smooth, sustained throughout by a freshness which imparts a deliciously succulent finish. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.. FOOD PAIRING. Try dishes such as a tournedos of duck Rossini, a roasted wild boar leg, a stew of marcassin confit with peppers or a beef tenderloin with morel sauce. If pairing with cheese uncooked cheeses are best.. Discover more wines from Château Pontet-Canet
