The biodynamic pioneer of classified Bordeaux, eighteen years on. Pontet-Canet is the 5th Growth Pauillac that has performed at 2nd Growth level for decades — owned by the Tesseron family since 1975 and farmed biodynamically since the late 2000s, earning organic (Ecocert) and biodynamic (Biodyvin) certification in 2010 as the first 1855 classified estate to do so; Demeter certification followed in 2014. 2007 was a difficult Bordeaux vintage, cool and wet, and even the top Pauillacs came out leaner than their reputation. But this is exactly the kind of bottle that rewards patience: Pontet-Canet's rigorous selection, its deep gravels, and the unusually thoughtful farming have all produced a wine that has aged with grace and grown into earthy, savory complexity. Cassis softened to dried currant, cedar pencil, graphite, sweet tobacco, forest floor, leather. Tannins resolved, finish long and classical. Drink over the next several years.

Antonio Galloni

"Deep ruby-red. The nose shows an almost exotic ripeness but also a high-pitched quality to the aromas of fruitcake, graphite and spicy oak. Dense and intensely flavored but at the same time quite juicy and penetrating, with terrific lift to its dark fruit flavors. An outperformer for the vintage, this rather powerfully structured wine has a serious spine for aging." —Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

"Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Pontet-Canet has an upfront bouquet with (for the vintage) quite lavish red and black fruit tinged with violet and creme de cassis. The palate is sweet and opulent, displaying impressive concentration and a velvety blueberry and black cherry finish that lingers long in the mouth. You would never ascribe this to the 2007 vintage, a Pontet-Canet determined to overcome the limitations of the growing season. In a sense, it succeeds, yet it must sacrifice some of its Bordeaux typicité in the process. Tasted February 2017." —Neal Martin

"Quite rich and sweet on the nose. Not very Pauillac-like! Good, firm tannins on the palate. A creditable attempt to spin some interest out of this vintage. But pretty low key. Tannins almost too dominant. Watery finish. But there is no shortage of effort here and the wine should have a longer life than many. Just a bit too like sandpaper in terms of texture." —Jancis Robinson MW

Wine Spectator

90 points

"Currant and dark licorice aromas follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a caressing finish. A beauty. Best after 2013. 20,835 cases made."

Wine Enthusiast

"Slowly the potential of this impressive wine is coming out. It is rich, the new wood flavors blending with the ripe blackberry sweetness and tight tannins. Chocolate flavor power through this concentrated wine." —Roger Voss
