What you will taste
Pontet-Canet did what no other great Pauillac dared: it converted entirely to biodynamics, ploughing with horses among vines facing Mouton Rothschild. The 2019 shows why the gamble became a triumph: vivid cassis and violet, pepper and cedar, tannins that are firm yet somehow fresh. It is classic Pauillac with an extra pulse of life, and one of the most admired wines of its year.
The sommelier’s note
«A full hour in the decanter is the minimum for this young vintage. Serve at 17 degrees and plan a proper main course around it.»
How this wine opens up
From the first pour to the last glass — follow it through the evening.
On arrival
Straight to the decanter
Decant immediately: this Pauillac is young and coiled. Air is its best friend tonight.
30 min · First pour
Coiled power
Cassis and pepper over firm tannins. Impressive already, but wait for what comes.
60 min · The opening
Violets over Pauillac
Florals lift out of the dark fruit and the texture starts to melt. The main course moment.
