Château Pontet-Canet 2007 - Vin rouge - Appellation Pauillac

Le millésime 2007 du Château Pontet-Canet s’est caractérisé par un été frais et une belle arrière-saison. La finesse et la délicatesse des tanins, ses beaux fruits rouges fait qu’il se déguste aujourd’hui avec beaucoup de plaisir. Ce grand vin de Bordeaux en appellation Pauillac est à maturité.

Commentaire du domaine Pontet-Canet : C’est le premier millésime qui fait résonner les accents de la biodynamie. Tout se met en place, le nez déclinant les fruits rouges et noirs, la vanille, la minéralité et la réglisse. L’attaque se montre ample, généreuse puis le palais ressent la finesse, l’harmonie intime, le fondu et les tanins soyeux. Un rouge gourmand et sensuel qui fait penser à la haute couture. La fin de bouche s’éternise délicieusement assortie d’une sensation d’accomplissement.

Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, 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.

Sweet, spicy and dark fruited. Unusually ripe and sweet on the palate. Lots of spice, firmly textured and full of flavour. Not particularly elegant but full-flavoured and long without any herbaceousness and still a good life ahead. Impressive fruit depth. (JH)

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.

Slowly the potential of this impressive wine is coming out. It is rich, the new wood flavors blending with the ripe blackberry sweetness and tight tannins. Chocolate flavor power through this concentrated wine.
