CHÂTEAU PONTET-CANET
Grand Cru classé in 1855
- Pauillac -
Covering more than 80 hectares, Château Pontet Canet is one of the largest vineyards in Bordeaux. Classified as the 5th Cru Classé in 1855, it is now recognized as one of the greatest wines of Pauillac. Alfred Tesseron took over from his father Guy Tesseron in 1994 and led the estate through a profound transformation, an unprecedented revolution: Château Pontet-Canet became the first major Bordeaux estate to dare to embark on organic and biodynamic farming. Within the Grands Crus Classés, it was the first to obtain the double certification on the whole vineyard.
As a result of this family work, carried out with the help of Jean Michel Comme, the then manager, Robert Parker awarded Château Pontet Canet the coveted 100/100 rating in 2009 and 2010.

The history of
Château Pontet Canet
At the beginning of the 18th century, aristocrats and magistrates built sumptuous buildings in the heart of the vineyards on the Médoc lands. Thus Jean Francois Pontet, Governor of the Médoc, and his son Jean Pierre acquired land in Pauillac and in the Canet area. As was customary at the time, in 1757, he associated his name with that of the estate on which he had built the Château: Château Pontet-Canet was born.
A century later, the reputation of the wines and the prosperity of Château Pontet Canet were consecrated during the famous classification of 1855 ordered by Napoleon III: Château Pontet Canet became 5th Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac.
In 1865, Henri Herman Cruse bought the property. Established since 1815 in Bordeaux, the Cruse family with the Cru & Hirshfeld trading house became one of the leading merchants in Bordeaux. With the collaboration of Charles Skawinski, he designed a revolutionary winery where the grapes were fed into the vats through a stave that was led to a platform on the second floor. Herman Cruse built the reputation of Château Pontet Canet's wines around the world.
In 1975, the estate was bought by Guy Tesseron, a winegrower and Cognac merchant who already owned Château Lafon Rochet. In 1994, he entrusted the management of the property to his son Alfred Tesseron.
In 2015, his daughter Justine joined the family adventure, she remains attached to the work of her father and knows where she wants to take the property "always further, to renew the exception". Her brother Noé and her cousins, Mélanie and Philippine, are the other co-owners.
For more than 40 years, the Tesseron family has watched over the destiny of Pontet-Canet. In three centuries, the Château has known only three owner families, a singularity in the Médoc.
Château Pontet CAnet, The domain
The vineyards of Château Pontet Canet: 800,000 vines located on a hundred parcels cover the 81 hectares all located in the Pauillac appellation.
To the north, the vines are surrounded by two prestigious neighbors, Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Lafite Rothschild.
The Plateau de Pontet-Canet is made up of a Garonne gravelly ridge that rests on a limestone base. This thin but well-drained soil is the land of the great Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that make up more than 60% of the Château Pontet Canet blend. The oldest plots on the Plateau date back to the late 1940s. In the heart of the plateau, an exceptional plot produces Cabernet Franc which gives the final blend of Château Pontet-Canet its nobility and tannic finesse.
The other part of the vineyard is located on the banks of the Garonne. The soil is more chalky, cooler and richer, which is perfectly suited to Merlot and produces wines that are more structured and fleshy than those of the Plateau. Finally, on four parcels of this hillside, the Château has planted its Petit Verdot, which brings its spicy notes to the blend.
This parcel identity of Chateau Pontet Canet can be appreciated glass in hand.
“
I would argue that there is something reasonable and finished, French-style, in a glass of Pontet-Canet.
“
HENRY JAMES - VOYAGE EN FRANCE, 1877
