ChâteauPontet-Canet,2022

Prestigious Fifth Growth Estate Pauillac with Great Aging Potential

“Great waves of spice and ripe tannins have been smoothed by the partial aging in amphoras. The wine is full of ripe black fruits with a sense of richness as well as balance. Obviously with great aging potential to go with the purity of the fruit and aromas.” -Wine Enthusiast
