Château Pontet-Canet 5ème Cru Classé 2018 is an exclusive red wine from Pauillac in Bordeaux and an obvious choice for the quality-conscious wine connoisseur seeking grandeur, depth, and classic Left Bank character in a refined and powerful expression. The 2018 vintage is particularly impressive with a rare combination of intensity, freshness, and silky-smooth structure, which underscores Pontet-Canet's status as one of the most prominent and sought-after wines in Pauillac.

On the nose, the wine opens with a complex and deep aromatic profile where blackcurrants, dark plums, and blackberries merge with violet, dark spices, truffle, cedar, and a hint of dark chocolate. The aromatic profile is both concentrated and precise with a pronounced mineral undertone and a freshness that gives the wine a particularly sophisticated and characterful expression.

The palate is full-bodied, dense, and remarkably well-balanced with a juicy and concentrated fruit core, supported by powerful but creamy tannins. The wine unfolds in layers of dark berries, spice, mint, and subtle notes of noble wood, while the vibrant acidity and fine minerality add energy, verve, and length. The finish is long, intense, and persistent with an elegant balance between power, finesse, and classic Pauillac structure.

Château Pontet-Canet 2018 is made from a classic Bordeaux blend with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The result is a wine with great complexity, significant structure, and considerable aging potential, but also with remarkable charm and harmony even in its youth. It is a vintage that unites deep concentration with natural elegance in a particularly convincing manner.

The wine pairs particularly well with beef, veal, lamb, duck, game, as well as braised, grilled, and roasted dishes. For those seeking an exclusive Bordeaux with depth, intensity, and classic Pauillac elegance, Château Pontet-Canet 2018 is a particularly attractive choice.

98 /100

The 2018 Pontet-Canet is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. It was aged in 55% oak barriques and 45% amphorae. Deep garnet-purple colored, it explodes from the glass with an atomic perfume of raspberry pie, blackcurrant pastilles, rose oil and Chinese five spice, giving way to suggestions of cinnamon stick, dusty soil, pencil lead and underbrush. The rich, seductive, full-bodied palate is a hedonist's dream, delivering layer-upon-layer of black and red berry preserves with loads of fragrant accents, a beautifully firm yet plush texture and tons of freshness, finishing long with a whole firework display of exotic spices. This is pretty much out-of-the-gate delicious, but it has the backbone to evolve over three decades or more. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

98 /100

This wine combines the richness of the vintage with a sophisticated structure of smoky tannins and spicy wood aging. It is still young, with a powerful structure and ripe, vibrant black-currant fruits. The wine needs plenty of aging. Drink from 2028. Organic and biodynamic. Roger Voss

99 /100

Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, DELICATE rim brightening. Ripe dark berries, black heart cherries, a breath of figs and nougat, candied purples and fine noble wood nuances in the background, very multilayered bouquet. Substantial and complex, sweet wild berryish fruit, fine nougat, ripe, silky but supporting tannins, has impressive length and savouriness, a multi-faceted companion at the table. (2020-2060).

Falstaff

96 /100

Knitted down tannins, powerful concentration to the blackberry, black cherry and cassis fruits. A gourmet feel overall, rippled with cocoa bean and cigar box, this is an excellent wine and for me has improved since En Primeur. Still needs plenty of extra time in bottle, but already has definition and finesse, and evident potential. A difficult vintage at Pontet Canet, with tiny yields after losing 2/3 of the crop to mildew, making the success in the glass even more striking. Additions in the cellar also at this point, with 400l small cement vats made from their own soil. No pump overs, no lees stirring, the entire harvest sorted and destemmed by hand, no electricity beyond lights in the cellar, as little intervention as possible throughout the whole process.

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.
