Château Pontet-Canet 2012 - Pauillac - 5e Grand Cru Classé
Château Pontet-Canet 2012 is a great red wine from the Pauillac appellation, located in the heart of the Médoc, on Bordeaux's prestigious left bank. Classified as the 5th Grand Cru Classé in 1855, this iconic estate is renowned for the exceptional quality of its wines and its pioneering commitment to biodynamic viticulture.
Blend
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Tasting notes
- Colour: Deep purple with purplish highlights.
- Nose: Intense, with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, violet, graphite, cedar and sweet spices.
- Palate: Supple attack, structured mid-palate with silky tannins. Beautiful freshness, mineral finesse, long, elegant finish.
Food & wine pairing
Ideal with grilled prime rib, roast leg of lamb, game stew or mature cheeses.
Cellaring potential
Already pleasant after aeration, this 2012 has an ageing potential of 15 to 25 years. It will evolve towards more tertiary notes (leather, undergrowth, tobacco).
