Bu sur + de 3 heures, aération en carafe à l’ouverture. Arômes de fruits noirs, cerises, assez végétal. Belle couleur rubis! La carafe lui a fait un grand bien malgré ses 15 ans. Bien que le 1er verre m’a donné une légère incertitude mais le tout c’est replacé rapidment et le vin est tout simplement magnifique!

En bouche, il y a de la matière, belle acidité qui garde la structure du vin. En bouche, la mure, l cerises noires, un peu végétale, boîte à cigare. Tres long en bouche. Wow! — 2 years ago

Really tasty. Full bodied, big wine. Lots of oak. I loved it, hubby thought it was just ok on its own but we both agreed it paired dynamite with dinner (pollo al ajillo). — 5 months ago

K&L notes as follows, Grand Pontet is an interesting property, positioned in the neighborhood of other stars of the appellation such as Châteaux Canon, Beau-Séjour-Bécot and Clos Fourtet. It is, however, a small estate, a mere 14 hectares, and its prices are much better than some of its more prestigious neighbors. In 1980 it was purchased by Gerard and Dominique Bécot, owners of the neighboring Beau-Séjour-Bécot. They have applied the same high standards to both Châteaux in their possession, and their winemaking team crafts Grand Pontet alongside the Beau-Séjour-Bécot wines. Recently purchased in 2021 by Domaines Clarence Dillon (Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion, et al.), the property was combined with and incorporated into Château Quintus. Full-bodied and luscious, this Grand Pontet is laden with ripe blackberry fruits, savory tobacco, licorice notes, and ripe, softened tannins. It’s seamless and bold, not shy. It’s going to require something decadent to pair with, such as filet mignon or some other black-tie dish with plenty of flavor and rich umami presence. — 2 years ago
