Château Pontet‑Canet 2025 – 5th Classified Growth of Pauillac – Certified organic (Ecocert) & biodynamic (Biodyvin and Demeter)

Vintage: While the proximity of the estuary protected the vineyard from nighttime frost episodes, the vine cycle was well balanced. Flowering was uniform. The summer saw rising temperatures, promoting rapid vegetative growth. Harvesting was carefully sequenced to pick each grape variety at optimal ripeness.

Vinification and aging: Grapes were harvested plot by plot and underwent double sorting, both in the vineyard and upon arrival at the winery, to retain only the highest quality fruit. Extractions were gentle, with light pump-overs and punch-downs. Minimal intervention approach.

Vineyard location: The site known as the “Plateau,” a Günzian gravel outcrop, rests on a limestone base.

Aging: 50% in new oak barrels, 35% in concrete amphorae, and 15% in one-wine barrels.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (3%), Petit Verdot (2%). Aged for 16–18 months.

Tasting: Château Pontet-Canet 2025 will mark the estate’s history with an exceptional level of quality.
