Chateau Pontet Canet 2005 (1x75cl)

Chateau Pontet-Canet 2005 is a Pauillac red from an estate classified as a Fifth Growth in 1855. The official estate technical sheet for 2005 gives a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, at 13% alcohol. Harvest ran from 26 September to 10 October. The estate recalls a year of great drought, with Merlot picked from 26 September and Cabernet from 3 October with a larger picking team.

Tasting notes

The estate describes a bright carmine hue; a deep nose of blackberry, blackcurrant and a touch of chocolate with a hint of menthol; a dense, concentrated palate with firm, precise, integrated tannins; and a long, flavourful finish of controlled power and balance.

This is an older vintage. It was sourced from a reliable, proven source, checked for authenticity by our in-house sommelier, and stored in our constant-temperature cellar after arrival.
