2011 Château Pontet-Canet - Grand Cru Classé, Bordeaux, France, Pauillac
François Pontet gave his name to the estate he had acquired. The wine was not château-bottled until 1972. In 1975 the property was sold to Guy Tesseron, of the Tesseron family, one of the finest exponents of luxury: very old, aged Cognacs (Cognac Tesseron).
The Tesserons also own Château Lafon-Rochet in St-Estephe. Nowadays, Château Pontet-Canet is owned and run by Alfred and Michel Tesseron. Pontet-Canet's 78 hectares of vineyards adjoin those of Mouton Rothschild.
The Tesserons have vastly improved the quality of the Pontet-Canet wines which are now full-bodied and packed with ripe, chewy, black fruits and finely integrated tannins. The wines posseses marvellous ageing potential.
Pontet-Canet is classified as a 5ème GrandCru Classé.
