28th September to 15th October

Deep purple colour.
The exceptionally complex nose is dominated by fruits such as blackcurrant and a very noticeable graphite presence. A flowery touch of violets adds extra elegance.
In the mouth, the attack is yet powerful and contained. The high in tannins, long and highly refined structure is accentuated by a refreshing acidity.
A great Pontet-Canet!

We are learning to understand the terroir, the vines as well as diseases and pests more and more thanks to nature's offering of immense resources that are so little used.
This enables us to help the vine build up a resistance against illness or pests, naturally, without aggression. This was particularly useful at the beginning of the season when frequent rain reminded us of the two previous years.
Then, once the summer began, the sun settled in over the region. The hot weather lasted right up until harvest time, giving us high hopes for the vintage to come.
Our animal traction project continued to develop. It required a lot of thought and a sincere long-term vision. The first results are already evident and go beyond our expectations as the soil very quickly rewards us when we show it respect.
Under perfect weather conditions, the harvest began on the 28th of September and continued under a permanent sunshine and hot temperatures, finishing on the 15th of October.
