Chateau Pontet Canet 2016 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)The 2016 Pontet Canet was bottled in July 2018. Jean Michel Comme says it is the best vintage in recent years, a reference point for the estate, with more definition and precision than the 2010 Pontet Canet. I do like the bouquet here: very pure and precise, the oak nicely integrated, subtle floral scents emerging with time. In the background there is a touch of fresh fig, conveying the warmth of that summer but not impeding upon the terroir

Marsanne and Viognier

concentrated

Harmonious finish showing spice and tropical fruits

Roast duck - even Chinese-style crispy duck pancakes

Pessac-Leognan

raspberry preserve and mineral scents that gain intensity in the glass

offering a more sensual take on the 2016 growing season

this is a Pavie that has taken stock and shifted in direction in recent years

this is tight and refined in presentation

It will not have the depth and power of the subsequent 2015 Palmer

It is not as powerful or as complex as the 2015 Mouton-Rothschild
