Château Pontet-Canet 5ème Cru Classé 2019 is an exclusive red wine from Pauillac, Bordeaux, combining depth, purity, and modern aristocratic finesse in an expression that has made the château one of the appellation's most distinctive producers. The 2019 vintage is particularly compelling with its intense fruit, silky structure, and impressive balance, making the wine ideal for both collectors and connoisseurs seeking a great Bordeaux with personality and aging potential.

The aroma is intense and nuanced with notes of blackcurrant, wild dark berries, plum, and black cherries, accompanied by graphite, cedar, tobacco, floral hints, subtle spices, and a light smoky touch. The aroma profile is both deep and refined, where the classic Pauillac character meets remarkable purity and elegance.

The taste is full-bodied, concentrated, and silky-smooth with ripe, fine tannins and a lively acidity that creates freshness and vibrancy throughout the palate. The dark fruit unfolds in layers with spice, minerality, and subtle toasted nuances, while the structure remains precise, harmonious, and energetic. The finish is long, persistent, and elegant with a subtle smoky hint that gives the wine extra depth and character.

The wine is crafted from a classic Bordeaux blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, contributing to complexity, structure, and an exclusive expression. Château Pontet-Canet 2019 pairs excellently with beef, veal, lamb, duck, game, as well as braised, grilled, and oven-roasted dishes, where the wine's depth and finesse can fully unfold. An ideal wine for exclusive dinners and special occasions, when only a grand and characterful Pauillac is the right choice.

93 /100

The 2019 Pontet-Canet offers up an expressive bouquet of plummy fruit, kirsch, dried herbs and peonies. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and seamless, with melting tannins, succulent acids, and a long, liqueured finish. Tasted twice, it's a wine I find somewhat perplexing: in a blind tasting, I might be more inclined to place it in Gigondas than Pauillac. I'm far from dogmatic when it comes to what the French call "typicité," and stylistic diversity surely enriches every appellation; but by the same token, I'm not convinced that this is the most compelling aesthetic that a Cabernet-based blend from this part of Bordeaux can realize. Checking in at 13.7% alcohol, some 35% of the production was matured in amphorae, which no doubt contributes to the wine's idiosyncratic identity. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

100 /100

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on rim. For the first time since 2011, the proportion of Merlot is somewhat higher, the bouquet accordingly more characterised by heart cherries than by the usual cassis de Pauillac, delicate nougat and caramel, fine herbal spice. Powerful, tightly meshed, shows good expression, chocolatey touch, ripe tannins, great complexity, great length and spiciness, a very independent personality, a huge promise for the future, already evident: this wine has everything a world-class wine needs.

The wine is so perfumed, with ripe tannins set beside the black currant purity. The wine does have weight but the fruit is so refined and vibrant. Tannins give a core for aging, offering the structure and the density of a very fine wine. Organic and biodynamic. Roger Voss

Wine Enthusiast

99 /100

Composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Pontet-Canet is deep garnet-purple in color. It features notes of prunes, crème de cassis, and wilted roses, followed by suggestions of spice box, iron ore, Ceylon tea, and underbrush. The medium- to full-bodied palate is rich, concentrated, and seductive, with a racy backbone and ripe, fine-grained tannins supporting the complex, layered flavors, finishing long and mineral.

Wine independent

98 /100

Particularly successful during En Primeur, and even better now, just bursting out of the glass. Plump and fruit-forward, plenty of character, with spiced cedar and smoked earth; violet and iris notes play around the edges, but the focus is on creamy cassis, bilberry, cocoa bean, and aniseed. Last vintage with Jean-Michel Comme as technical director, and you can really see the skilled use of amphoras now: they added notes of austerity in the early years (introduced in 2012) but now showcase the precision of the fruit. 100% first wine, with ageing taking place in a mix of 45% new oak barrels, 15% one-year barrels, and 40% amphoras.

Jane Anson

96 /100

The 2019 Pontet-Canet was so effusive and generous en primeur. Today, though, it is quite reticent. That won't be an issue for those who can be patient, but patience indeed will be the key here. Dark red-fleshed fruit, tobacco, cedar, spice, kirsch, mint and blood orange gradually open with a bit of coaxing. Imposing tannins wrap it all together. The 2019 is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty, but it needs time.

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.
