Château Pontet-Canet

Château Pontet-Canet is a Bordeaux wine estate in Pauillac, in the Médoc, recognized as a Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. Its history began in the early eighteenth century and spans three centuries and three families. The estate’s 81 hectares of vines are divided into around 100 plots, with nearly 800,000 vines facing the Gironde estuary. Its distinctive terroir includes a gravel ridge over a limestone base.

The château produces red wines under the Château Pontet-Canet name and invites visitors to explore its different vintages. From vineyard work to winemaking, its approach emphasizes close observation of the living environment, experimentation, and an evolving understanding of the vines. The estate also applies biodynamic practices, which it says bring greater depth, more precise and supple tannins, and a mineral quality to the wines’ finish.

Château Pontet-Canet shares its contact details and information about its history, terroir, and winemaking on its official website. It also highlights other Tesseron family properties, including Pym-Rae and Tesseron Cognac.
