Château Pontet-Canet 2000 comes from one of Bordeaux's greatest ever vintages.

Pontet-Canet is a fifth growth on paper, yet not in reality, and produces classic left bank Bordeaux of quality well above its 5th growth status in the Bordeaux classification. While Pontet-Canet's wines are not in the same league as its neighbour Château Mouton Rothschild, they have improved dramatically in the last decade and offer unrivaled Bordeaux value-for-money.

"Extremely pretty aromas of mineral, blackberry and raspberry. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. Well-crafted red. The best Pontet-Canet ever." Wine Spectator (March 2003)

“The impressively saturated opaque purple color offers up some promising aromas of black currants, vanilla, truffle, smoke, and mineral. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, powerful, layered, and enticingly textured, but oh, so backward and firm.The finish is long, but this broodingly backward, large-scaled Pontet-Canet will require considerable patience.” eRobertParker.com  (April 2003)

"Nut-sweet, slightly gamy aromas; gentle sweetness on the palate with savoury, cigar-box notes and an initial silkiness to the texture before some tight-grained tannins take hold." thewinegang.com
