Château Pontet-Canet

Château Pontet-Canet

For three hundred years of history, the Château Pontet-Canet has been owned by only three families - a rarity in the Médoc area. The new era comes with Guy Tesseron, a cognac merchant from the region, who bought it in 1975. Together with Jean-Michel Comme, manager since 1989, he completely changed the vines and identity of Château Pontet-Canet. They began to grow vines with minimal intervention, by organic and biodynamic methods, and now even use horses to work in the field. Guy Tesseron says he and his team are not winemakers, but farmers. The work is only by hand, and in vinification gravity is used for minimal impact on the grain. After several years of testing, 100 concrete amphorae (dolia) designed by Pontet-Canet were installed in the winery. In order to show respect for the purity of the fruit and the land from which it comes, soil from the vineyards, whose wine matures in them, is included in the making of the concrete amphorae.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France, stretching 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic Ocean coast; in 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that has remained largely stable over the previous decade; the main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, and from these, various wines are made, with each producer having their own blend and proportions of the grape varieties; some of the most famous, expensive, and long-lasting wines in the world are produced here, with the subregions Medoc, Graves, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, and many others being well-known; Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River into the left and right banks; the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is characterized by a more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the wine blend, while on the right bank (St. Emilion, Pomerol) Merlot predominates; in addition to red wines, Bordeaux is also famous for producing white wines, mainly a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with the subregion Sauternes leading the ranking and the renowned Chateau d’Yquem, celebrated for its complex, multi-layered, aromatic, and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
