Designated a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification, Pontet-Canet has exceeded that classification for many years now and is considered one of the top wines of Bordeaux. Of the 120 hectares (300 acres) With 200 acres under vine, the estate of Pontet-Canet is located in the northern end of the Pauillac commune, across the road from first growth Chateau Mouton Rothschild.

The soil composition is mainly gravel over a subsoil of clay and limestone. A wine of real class, pedigree and distinction, the 2012 Pontet-Canet is absolutely gorgeous. The flavours are beautifully nuanced and delineated throughout. The 2012 is decidedly understated next to some other recent vintages, but the magic of this site simply won’t be denied.
