200 Bottles in OWC of 1! 99/100: 2016 Chateau Pontet-Canet
“The 2016 Pontet-Canet is absolutely breathtaking.”
– 99 points Antonio Galloni
We are absolutely thrilled to offer today 200 original wooden cases of 1 bottle of Chateau Pontet Canet from the superb 2016 vintage!
Château Pontet-Canet, a historic Pauillac estate, has been shaped by just three families since the 17th century. The Tesserons, owners since 1975, have modernised winemaking and embraced biodynamics, elevating their wines to the ranks of Bordeaux’s finest. Their 80 ha vineyard neighbors Mouton Rothschild, and their innovative aging process combines oak barrels and amphorae, enhancing the wine’s full-bodied yet balanced profile.
“No proprietor in Bordeaux has taken more risks over the last two decades than Alfred Tesseron” – AG
Critics loved this 2016 vintage and gave it 99 points. For Lisa Perrotti-Brown, “It is super concentrated with a lovely line of freshness and ripe, firm, grainy tannins, finishing very long and with amazing purity.” while for Antonio Galloni, it is “Tremendous. It’s as simple as that. As is often the case, Pontet-Canet is one of the most singular wines in Bordeaux.”
These are from pristine provenance and condition as per the photo above. Please let us know if you would like to secure a few bottles.
Very best wishes,

2016 CHÂTEAU PONTET-CANET
200 bottles in OWC of 1 @ SGD $225 per bottle (inc GST $245.25)
“The 2016 Pontet-Canet is absolutely breathtaking. Powerful, ample and racy in the glass, the 2016 is one of the most exquisitely well-balanced young Pontet-Canets I can remember tasting. Savory, high-toned aromatics and brisk mineral notes lend energy and delineation as this vivid wonderfully alive wine opens up in the glass. The flavors are dark and incisive, but it is the wine’s total sense of harmony that is most compelling. All of the elements are simply in the right place. The 2016 is tremendous. It’s as simple as that. As is often the case, Pontet-Canet is one of the most singular wines in Bordeaux. Alfred Tesseron could have chosen to play things safe when he took over the management of the estate in the mid-1990s. Instead, he chose a very different path. No proprietor in Bordeaux has taken more risks over the last two decades than Alfred Tesseron. A commitment to biodynamic farming, sustainability across the entire estate more broadly, and the adoption of new concepts for Bordeaux, such as aging a portion of the wine in terra cotta, set Pontet-Canet apart from other properties in Pauillac and the Left Bank. Not surprisingly, the wine is also starkly different from the wines of neighboring estates.”
99 Points Antonio Galloni
“The 2016 Pontet-Canet is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it explodes from the glass with bombastic creme de cassis, stewed plums, and blueberry preserves notes, giving way to subtle notions of licorice, lilacs, and damp soil plus a waft of truffles. Full-bodied, it is super concentrated with a lovely line of freshness and ripe, firm, grainy tannins, finishing very long and with amazing purity.”
