近年のポンテ・カネの勢いはとどまることを知りません!今や一級シャトーに匹敵する驚異のシャトーです!
今やロバート・パーカー、ジェームス・サックリング、ワインスペクテーターが100点満点を与える偉大なるシャトー、ポンテ・カネ。ボルドーの格付けシャトーでビオディナミで先駆けのシャトーであり、時として樽を抑えたスタイルに挑戦するなどあらゆる面で挑戦を続けており、ボルドー左岸において最も注目すべきシャトーのひとつです。
畑はムートン・ロートシルトのすぐ向かいという人もうらやむ畑の立地から造られる、力強く、タンニンに溢れる、ポイヤックの古典的なスタイル。
2020年、シャトー・ポンテ・カネを牽引してきた技術責任者のジャン・ミシェル・コム氏が、“重圧に耐えられない”との理由から、31年間在籍したシャトーを引退したニュースは衝撃でした。
2009年と2010年でWA100点満点をたたき出したのは、オーナーのアルフレッド・テスロン氏と技術責任者の ジャン・ミシェル・コム氏の並々ならぬ努力の賜物でしょう。

The blend this year is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Pontet-Canet has the most gorgeous, lifted perfume of lilacs, dark chocolate, Morello cherries and rosehip tea over a core of cr?me de cassis, plum preserves, licorice and woodsmoke with a waft of fragrant soil. Full-bodied, rich and fantastically opulent, the palate offers layer upon layer of ripe, finely grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and mineral laced. A real head-turner, this beauty is absolutely going to steal your heart!

The aromas to this are really amazing, with a potpourri of spices and dried flowers, as well as redcurrants, sweet plums and even some peaches. Full-bodied with layers of ripe fruit and ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate in an encompassing yet always elegant and pure way. It’s succulent and unadulterated. Like crushed, perfectly ripened grapes. The length is rather endless. The tannins build. Fabulous young red. 35% in amphora and the rest in 50% new oak and 15% one-year oak. 65% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot, the rest cabernet franc and petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2028, but an absolute joy to taste now.

(95-97) pts Pontet-Canet 2019 Pontet-Canet Pauillac Grand Cru Classe, Bordeaux Red wine from France Drinking window:
The 2019 Pontet-Canet is plush, dense and explosive, with tremendous richness and pure, soaring intensity that strengthens in all directions with time in the glass. A wine of gravitas, the 2019 is statuesque in build. As always, Pontet-Canet offers a very personal, idiosyncratic expression of Pauillac. A range of lifted floral and savory notes ring out on the finish. The 2019 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, harvested between September 23 and October 10, which is a typical time frame for the estate. Yields came in a 33 hectoliters per hectare, more or less the historical average these days. For the first time, all sorting and destemming were done by hand and the wine was vinified only with manual punchdowns (i.e. no pumpovers), without any motorized equipment. Cuvaison was around 21 days, after which the wine was taken off the skins for the malolactic fermentation (which was done in the fermentation vats), and then racked into barrels and concrete for aging - 50% new oak, 35% amphora and 15% once-used barrels. Sadly, 2019 is the last vintage at Pontet-Canet for long-time Technical Director Jean-Michel Comme, who left after 31 years to focus on his own projects. He is succeeded by Mathieu Bessonnet, formerly at Chapoutier. Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: June 2020
