Château Pontet-Canet位於Pauillac的中心地帶，在Mouton Rothschild和 d'Armailhac的南面。那裡的土壤是貧脊的石塊和砂土，屬於優質葡萄園的典型。80公頃（200畝）的葡萄園主要種植了Cabernet Sauvignon，也是Pauillac酒的旗艦品種，能出產飽滿酒體、結構明顯、陳年力強，以細緻優雅聞名的葡萄酒。而為了保持Medoc區的長久傳統，酒莊會混入Merlot及Cabernet Franc以增加柔滑和魅力，部分年分也會加進Petit Verdot提升複雜度。Pontet Canet 絕是一款經典、具備單寧結構和陳年能力的美酒。

哇。礦物質、雪松，幾乎就像高溫中溫暖的石頭。接下來的是香料味道。這是一款華麗的葡萄酒，現在品嘗很好，但未來3至5年將會更佳。需提前數個小時醒酒。

2007年的Pontet-Canet具有濃郁的紅果和黑果香、紫羅蘭和黑加侖甜酒的香氣。口感甜美飽滿，濃度令人印象深刻，藍莓和黑櫻桃的餘韻縈繞不散。它成功克服了這個年份的限制，但在過程中它犧牲了一些波爾多特色。
Château Pontet-Canet is located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, just south of châteaux Mouton Rothschild and d'Armailhac. It has the poor gravelly soil typical of the greatest vineyards. The 80-hectare (200 acres) estate is predominately planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, the signature variety for the great wines of Pauillac. This demanding grape is perfectly adapted to Pauillac's climate and soil. It produces full-bodied, well-structured, long-lived wines famous for their finesse and elegance.
In keeping with a longstanding Médoc tradition, it is blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which add a touch of smoothness and charm. In certain vintages, Petit Verdot can also be counted on to contribute complexity. Pontet-Canet is clearly a classical wine with a tannic structure that provides excellent aging potential.

Wow. Minerals, cedar, almost like warm stones in the heat. And then some spice. A wine that’s gorgeous, beautiful to taste now, but you know there’s so much more coming to it. Will be better in three to five years. But it’s already gorgeous—decant a couple hours in advance.

The 2007 Pontet-Canet has an upfront bouquet with (for the vintage) quite lavish red and black fruit tinged with violet and creme de cassis. The palate is sweet and opulent, displaying impressive concentration and a velvety blueberry and black cherry finish that lingers long in the mouth. You would never ascribe this to the 2007 vintage, a Pontet-Canet determined to overcome the limitations of the growing season. In a sense, it succeeds, yet it must sacrifice some of its Bordeaux typicité in the process. Tasted February 2017.
