Pauillac 2014 Bio - Château Pontet-Canet

In three hundred years Château Pontet-Canet in Pauillac has been owned by only three families. Cognac merchant Guy Tesseron bought it in 1975 and, with estate manager Jean-Michel Comme (since 1989), transformed the vineyard with organic and biodynamic farming, working the soils with horses and doing everything by hand. In the cellar gravity is used for minimal impact, and part of the wine is aged in concrete amphorae made with soil from the estate's own vineyards.

The 2014 blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It is a biodynamic wine fermented spontaneously, with part vinified in amphorae. Expect plum and small black fruits with cinnamon and toasty notes.

Serve at 16-18 °C with red meats, cured meats and cheeses.
