Contiguous to Mouton-Rothschild, Pontet-Canet is in the good vintages the very type of the great Pauillac, straight and distinguished. The first of the Médoc's great classified growths to be certified "organic" (in 2010), Pontet-Canet has been in very good shape since 2000.
Rated 93/100 by Neal Martin after bottling « The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins that render this one of the more approachable vintages in recent years. The cedar-infused black fruit is framed by fine tannins and a harmonious, graphite tinged finish. This Pontet-Canet should offer up to 20 years of drinking pleasure although it will be difficult to resist pulling the cork in its youth. » (February 2020)
