Chateau Pontet-Canet 2021: Pure & Biodynamic Fifth Growth Excellence

Château Pontet-Canet 2021 is a refined and terroir-driven expression from one of the most forward-thinking estates in Bordeaux. Classified as a Fifth Growth in 1855, Pontet-Canet has risen well beyond its official rank, earning acclaim for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. The 2021 vintage—a cooler, more classical year—favored estates with meticulous vineyard care, and Pontet-Canet’s holistic approach has yielded a wine of purity, energy, and elegance, driven by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

The nose is precise and lifted, offering aromas of blackcurrant, red cherry, and plum, accented by violet, graphite, crushed herbs, and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with remarkable clarity, showcasing bright red and black fruit, fine mineral notes, and silky tannins. Fresh acidity and a vibrant structure lead into a long, graceful finish, highlighting the estate’s unique balance of power and finesse.

Pontet-Canet 2021 pairs wonderfully with herb-crusted lamb, grilled duck breast, wild mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses like Tomme de Savoie or Cantal, enhancing its elegant structure and natural freshness.
