*The label is heavily scuffed.

Pontet Canet is one of the most in demand 5th Growth producers in Pauillac. While this estate needs no introduction to savvy collectors, it is always good to revisit. Pontet Canet was purchased by Guy Terreson of Chateau Lafon Rochet in 1975, and has been long beloved by Bordeaux enthusiasts, especially in the past few decades. Pontet Canet is famous for being neighbors with Mouton Rothschild. Since 2010 they have converted all farming to biodynamics and were the first major Bordeaux wine producer to get certified in biodynamics via Agence Bio (AB) organic certification. In total Pontet Canet is 81 hectares planted to roughly 60% Cabernet Sauvignon with the rest being Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
