Once again, the chateau transcends the vintage & delivers a 2012 of remarkable purity & energy.
Its definition & brilliance are absolutely fantastic, with a brightness of fruit & finesse of tannin which takes it to the summit. Another landmark.
Pontet-Canet matured almost a third of the 2012 harvest in amphorae.
Red fruits dominate the nose with a rather perfumed edge to the fruit almost masking the notes of violets.
Redcurrant & violet character.
The palate is full of spice & opulent fruit; like black cherry & cassis.
It is beautifully balanced, the ripe tannins are well integrated & it has bracing acidity.
It is an elegant style of red wine that will be impressive for a good few more years to come. ...
The northern Mdoc was the great success story in the 2003 vintage, sublimating the summer heat into power & depth rather than overripeness. This is a great example, all blackberry, tobacco & measured richness, with real plumpness & length on the palate. ...
One of the most consistently impressive estates in the northern Medoc, Potensac's 2006 (made by the same winemaking team that produces the great Leoville Las Cases). Reveals a deep ruby hue, notes of sweet cherries, roasted herbs, licorice, & gamy meat, & good fruit, structure, purity, & freshness. ...

The northern Mdoc was the great success story in the 2011 vintage, sublimating the summer heat into power & depth rather than over-ripeness.
This is a great example, all blackberry, tobacco & measured richness, with real plumpness & length on the palate. ...
Rich with excellent balance, this is a remarkable wine with elegant & complex aromas.
Full-bodied on the palate, but still clean, sharp & fresh with an intense & lengthy finish of rip & noble tannins. ...
This Margaux 2011 offers a deep ruby-red colour & a bouquet delicately combining liquorice with roasted coffee notes & surprising hints of cassis bud.
The tannins are fleshy & very full thanks to the slow extraction during the vatting process.
The long, silky finish combines flavours of cassis (stemming from the dominant cabernet sauvignon) with slightly woody notes, revealing all the elegance of this wine.
At Chateau Pouget particular attention is paid to the harvesting date, with the aim of picking grapes that have reached optimum ripeness.
The grapes are sorted both in the vineyard & at the winery, & express all the finesse of this great terroir. ...
This attractive wine is surprisingly elegant, lush & fruit forward, as one might expect from this unheralded appellation. Merlot & Malbec work together giving a rich, mouthfilling structure & ripe soft plummy fruit, while Cabernet Franc cuts through with its crunchy fruit & tighter tannins. This wine hit 14.5% natural alcohol in 2010, which I think is an all-time high. ...
The palate shows a fresh, vibrant fruit character with black & red fruit spreading across the mid-palate. Beautifully textured with fresh acidity & fine-grained tannin giving length to this appealing Rauzan. It is a beautiful wine in this vintage, not nearly as powerful & structured as the 2010, but it has complex notes of sweet red & black fruits, unsmoked cigar tobacco, spice box & a hint of very subtle wood. The complex perfume is followed by a dark ruby/plum-coloured wine with beautifully sweet tannins, a silky, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, & a long finish. ...
