Château Pontet Canet 5ème GCC Pauillac 2020

Although the Demeter vineyard right next to Mouton Rothschild is a 5ème Cru, it would now be categorised much higher. The most recent vintages prove its rocket-like rise with top ratings from all critics. It is always a little exotic, the fruit is always a little sweeter and more opulent, the tannins rather finely polished and the drinkability starts quite early for a Pauillac, which does not mean that Pontet Canet cannot age. Quite the opposite, as the 2020 will last for decades. It delights with an intoxicating aroma of ripe plums and dark berries.
