Pontet Canet 2017

TASTING NOTE BY MSQ

【抵飲「超二級莊」Pontet Canet】

Pontet Canet 位於法國波爾多左岸的Pauillac產區，在1855年梅多克分級中評定的五級莊，但其近年來的品質與聲譽已遠超這一評級，被業界視為「超二級莊」（Super Second）的代表之一，2004年更成為波爾多首個全有機葡萄園列級莊，2010年獲Demeter生物動力認證。

Pontet Canet憑藉生物動力法的先鋒實踐、頂級風土與歷史積澱，成為波爾多最具性價比的名莊之一。其葡萄酒兼具力量感與細膩度，既是收藏家的心頭好，也是愛好者探索波亞克風土的絕佳選擇。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

Composed of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Pontet-Canet gives up beautifully fragrant notes of rosehip tea, lilacs, cinnamon stick, cloves, dried leaves and underbrush with a core of kirsch, raspberry coulis, warm plums and red and black currants plus a waft of pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing, minerally and wonderfully elegant with a well-played texture of approachable, plush tannins and a long, fragrant finish. Beautiful. Aging took place in 50% new and 15% in second fill barrels and the remaining 35% in amphorae for 16 months, much of the material for which came from the soil at Pontet-Canet!
