The Story

Pontet-Canet has always been a legendary Médoc. It is deep ruby-red, crimson, and sometimes almost black colour and has a characteristic bouquet of black fruit (especially blackcurrant), liquorice, and prune as well as fig, cedar, and sometimes cocoa overtones. Pontet-Canet combines power and elegance, as well as concentration and fullness on the palate. Rather sinewy in style, Pontet-Canet is clearly a classical wine with a tannic structure t...

Wine Information

Spring came early, spurring the vine to vigorous growth. Hot and dry conditions brought smiles to winemakers, keeping disease down and raising hopes for an early harvest—both classic signs of a good vintage.
Flowering arrived especially early, around mid-May, under very dry conditions; this often results in fewer grape bunches and small berries.
Then, nature changed plans and sent us a more nuanced summer, raising hopes for a true Bordeaux v...

Vuosikerta 2011

The 2011 vintage is not easy to handle.

Smith Haut Lafitte not only makes great white and red wine from Bordeaux in Pessac Léognan, they are also at the cutting edge of technology.

More of everything compared to Lynch Bages but this wine suffers a bit when I compare it to Ducru Beaucaillou and Montrose. From barrel it was 94p, after bottling it's less impressive. 93p.

  • 93p
Produced from an assemblage of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep ruby in color with scents of coffee, licorice, truffle, smoke and blackberry. The wine is fresh, pure, clean and filled with spicy cassis. Compared to recent vintages, this is a round, approachable, refined style of Pontet Canet finishing with silky cassis and spice. 93-95 Pts
