The Wine Advocate

"The Pontet-Canet 2020 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aging in 50% new French oak barriques, 35% concrete amphorae and 15% in one-year-old barrels. Harvest began on the 14th September for the Merlot, and the final lot of Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on 30th September. Opaque purple-black in color, it needs significant aeration and swirling to coax out evocative notes of black cherry preserves, raspberry pie, blackcurrant pastilles and damp soil, before launching into gorgeous floral and spice notions of red roses, cinnamon stick, star anise and cardamom, with a waft of crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals a lot of depth and polish, delivering mouth-coating red and black fruits with loads of fragrant earth and floral sparks, framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged. This is a singular, fascinating expression of the vintage and highly recommended!

“The difference in our wine is really how we work in the vineyard,” said Justine Tesseron, who now works very closely with her father Alfred Tesseron, owner of Château Pontet-Canet. “Every year we go to another level. First, we have great terroir. My grandfather was avant-garde when he chose our site. Then with the approach my father developed—biodynamics. But, as you know, every year is challenging because of the conditions. In 2018, we lost two-thirds of production because of mildew. In 2020 we were very scared. We didn’t want to have the same situation. Our vineyard people were very motivated. We didn’t miss any treatments—even on Saturday and Sunday. We HAD to be in the vineyard. Everyone was there. In the end, we didn’t lose any crops due to mildew. We kept it contained and it did not spread to the grapes.” “It was also challenging because of the very warm, dry days,” she added. “We had a bit of drought. But all the treatments we use, based on plants, have meant that the vineyard is in good balance. It was not too much affected by the drought. At Pontet-Canet we don’t deleaf or do green harvest. The leaves protected the grapes.” I asked Justine about the rains that occurred in mid-August—85 millimeters (3.35 inches)—nearly a month after the start of veraison. She said, “Yes, I think we managed the rain well. Mathieu Bessonnet, our technical director, decided to leave the grass growing between the rows this year, in anticipation of water. The grass was quite high. It managed to soak up a lot of the water. The berries were in good condition afterwards. We did not get dilution.” In the end, Pontet-Canet came through with yields that were just slightly lower than 2019, which was a relatively generous year for this estate. And the wine? Absolutely singular. Absolutely Pontet-Canet."

Decanter Magazine

"Highly successful Pontet, one of the few Pauillacs that, for me, overperforms on its 2019. Inky purple with ruby reflections in colour. Lots of firm but upright tannins, a good dollop of graphite, pencil lead and cassis bud, there is depth through the mid palate shot through with wild blackberry, hawthorn, sage, rosemary and wild mint. It has personality, and is a little old school in the best possible way. Recommended. They have avoided the over-concentrated feel of some Pauillacs in the vintage, while remaining true to the appellation. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend, 50% new oak 35% amphoras, 15% one-year barrels. First full vintage for Mathieu Bessonnet who replaced the previous long-term director Jean-Michel Comme in 2020. 100% first wine, as it has been for the past four years. 45% will be aged in new oak barrels, 15% one year, 40% in amphoras. The mildew pressure was stressful in the early part of the year, but they had learnt from 2018, and brought in the manpower to get around the whole vineyard in a (very long) day, so their yields ended up being close to normal."

"60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot. Cask sample.
Dark, dense and very ripe on the nose. Riper than most Pauillacs tasted. Suave attack then a firm charge of grainy tannin. Fresh and persistent but some chew on the finish."

Revue du Vin de France

"Comment résister à ce vin extrêmement raffiné et profond. Dès le nez, le fruit explose et libère des arômes intenses et complexes. La bouche, tout en harmonie, est à la fois crémeuse et étirée. Pur !"

James Suckling

"This is integrated, with superb density and beauty, offering blackcurrant, mineral and some bark. Full-bodied, yet so polished and refined. Crushed stone. Lots of expression and texture to this wine. Creamy. Pure and precise. Elegant, yet layered. Slightly plusher than the 2019. Dense, yet agile. Fresh as always. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 32% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. 50% new oak 15% old oak and 35% concrete amphorae."

VINOUS

"The 2020 Pontet-Canet is captivating effort from the Tesseron family. The intensely perfumed, savory bouquet is immediately alluring. Deep and substantial, the 2020 is luxuriously rich from start to finish. Swaths of incisive tannin wrap around a core of dark red cherry fruit, gravel, dried herbs and rose petal, and a whole range of floral and savory accents lend aromatic presence. The Pontet-Canet is often a charmer en primeur, but the 2020 comes across as quite serious. I can't wait to see how it develops. As always, one of the signatures of Pontet-Canet is a high proportion of Merlot vis-à-vis its peers among top Left Bank châteaux that lends tremendous midpalate weight. In 2020 production is within historical norms. Mildew pressure was high, but not as severe as in 2018, when two-thirds of the crop was lost in a single day. Harvest took place September 14–30, a bit more of a compact time frame than normal, and a good 7–10 days earlier than is typically the case. Aged in 50% new oak, 35% amphora and 15% once-used barrels."

Yves Beck

"Viel Subtilität in diesem Bouquet! Er ist filigran, komplex und offenbart Nuancen von Teeblättern und Kakaopulver. Mit etwas Luft gewinnt er an Fruchtintensität. So offenbart es Noten von Blaubeeren, schwarzer Johannisbeercreme und sogar Traubensaft! Schließlich sind auch Nuancen von Graphit wahrnehmbar. Am Gaumen ist der Wein fein, schmackhaft und saftig im Auftakt. Die Tannine sind fest, dicht und geben eine gewisse Fülle, während die Säurestruktur die Lebendigkeit und den aromatischen Ausdruck unterstützt. Das Terroir ist auch im Abgang präsent, wo Pontet Canet durch seine Frische und Ausdauer hervorsticht. Ein präziser, linearer und vielversprechender Wein. 2028-2060"

Falstaff

"Kräftiges Neuholz. Vanille und Süßkirsche. Leicht floral. Wildkirsche. Ausgeze- ichnete Frische in der Frucht. Im Mund mit seidigem Ansatz, ultrafeines Tannin, präsenter Alkohol, hier eine mittelgewichtige Intensität in der Frucht, ganz zuletzt eine Steigerung in Säure und leicht grünlichen Komponenten. Die Integration von feinem Gerbstoff und cremigem Körper ist hier die Pointe."

Le figaro

"Des arômes typiques de forêt noire, qui se prolongent par des notes de fromage à pâte cuite. En bouche, une énergie rugissante, sucrée-salée, légèrement fumée, avec beaucoup de mâche en finale."

Anthocyanes

"Nez frais, éclatant et délicat, fumé, un peu poivré, légèrement bourgeon de cassis, mure et cassis. Beaucoup de fraicheur. En bouche, les tanins sont parfaitement structurants, bien en place, serrés et la texture charnue relève l'ensemble. Très dense sans être ni lourd, ni trop puissant, ce Pontet-Canet est magnifique de fraicheur avec des tanins satinés. Sur l'allonge avec une fraicheur exceptionnelle. Un vin très élégant. Une longue garde sera appropriée."
