Neighbour to Mouton Rothschild, Pontet-Canet has become one of Bordeaux’s most forward-thinking estates. The Tesseron family were pioneers of biodynamics on the Left Bank, with horses still working the vines, and were early adopters of amphora ageing alongside traditional oak. This blend of tradition and innovation has propelled the estate to the front rank of Pauillac.

The 2020 is a superb expression of this philosophy: deep, pure and finely structured, with intense cassis and dark berry fruit wrapped in velvety tannins. Notes of graphite, violets, and spice add complexity, while a natural energy and freshness give it both power and finesse. A wine of poise and precision, built to age beautifully.
