Château Pontet-Canet

With a good depth of color, the wine bursts with floral aromatics, black currants, licorice, cocoa, Asian spices, and wet earth in its open perfume. The palate is lively, energetic, and already expressive. Medium-bodied, with layers of currants, minerality, herbs, mint, and blackberries, the experience on your palate is fresh and refreshing, with good volume for the vintage. This is classic in nature, blending influences from the vineyard with its fruits. The wine blends 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot.13.1% ABV, pH 3.8. Harvesting took place September 26 - October 11. The success of the vintage is due to the workers' efforts in the vineyard, which include adding extra grass to remove excess water, exercising patience, selective picking, and avoiding overreactions in the vineyards and cellars. Pontet Canet led the 2024 campaign as it was the first major release from the vintage. The wine is aging in a combination of 50% new, French oak barrels, 35% Amphora, and neutral oak.
