Château Pontet-Canet 5ème Cru Classé 2005 is an exclusive red wine from Pauillac in Bordeaux, France, combining power, depth, and classic Médoc character in an impressive and refined expression. The 2005 vintage is considered one of the great Bordeaux vintages, and the wine presents a beautiful combination of intense fruit, firm structure, and silky elegance. It is a wine with great personality and classic Pauillac style, making it an obvious choice for those seeking a grand Bordeaux with both character and aging potential.

On the nose, the wine opens with nuances of blackcurrant, black cherry, and ripe plum, beautifully complemented by cedar, tobacco, graphite, spices, and a subtle hint of dark chocolate. The aromatic profile is deep, complex, and inviting, with a beautiful balance between ripe dark fruit and classic Bordeaux finesse. The taste is full-bodied, concentrated, and well-structured, with ripe tannins, lively freshness, and a long, persistent finish where dark fruit, minerality, and spicy nuances elegantly merge. The result is a wine with both strength, precision, and great elegance.

Château Pontet-Canet 2005 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. It is a wine for special dinners and for those seeking a grand Pauillac with depth, complexity, and timeless French style.

97 /100

Tasted at the Pontet-Canet vertical in London, the 2005 Château Pontet-Canet has long been one of the stars of the vintage and this might well be the best of over a dozen showings of this wine. However, do not expect ostentation on the nose. This is 2005 and like many wines of this vintage, even with considerable decanting, it remained broody and introspective on the nose, as if it is checking you out and seeing if you are worthy. Once you have been accepted, then it swings the doors open to reveal gorgeous scents of blackberry, briary and cassis fruit, perhaps a little more sous-bois than I have noticed compared to previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied, but dense and structured—certainly a more masculine Pontet-Canet built for long-term ageing. Yet it retains marvelous freshness and vitality all the way through to the pencil-lead, quite saline finish. I suspect that the 2009 Pontet-Canet is more approachable than the 2005, so heeding Robert Parker's sage advice, afford this up to ten years in your cellar and then reap the rewards of patience. Tasted February 2016.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
