“A precise and elegant wine, where the fruit blends perfectly with refined tannins, offering a caressing and seductive palate. It has medium body, lovely fruitiness, a gentle character, and an overall smoothness and splendor. All while remaining structured. ” (James Suckling 2026)

Rated estate (2021 guide): 5 stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
This wine has become one of the most sought-after in the Médoc thanks to an extraordinary partnership between Jean-Michel Comme, a passionate and charismatic winemaker dedicated to authenticity, and Alfred Tesseron, an equally committed owner-manager willing to take any risk. Their partnership has enabled the vineyard’s conversion to organic viticulture—an inspiration to all their neighbors—and the refinement of a winemaking approach tailored to their quest for authenticity in expressing the terroir and the vintage. There is no longer a second wine; the entire harvest goes into the grand vin. In terms of style, in recent vintages, a portion aged in concrete tanks perfectly balances the oak and releases the full aromatic purity of an exceptional wine.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
Owned by the Tesseron family, Pontet-Canet owes much to the tireless work of Jean-Michel Comme, who spearheaded the transition to biodynamics and has shaped the estate’s winemaking philosophy for some thirty years. He left the estate in May 2020, handing the reins to Mathieu Bessonnet. In any case, the estate is well on its way, and there is no reason to believe it will not continue along the path it has charted. It is now up to Justine Tesseron, Alfred’s daughter and now at the helm, to keep Pontet-Canet in this league of its own. A tour of the cellar, the horse stables, and the winemaking facilities reveals just how far the château has taken its vision of excellence and respect for nature to the extreme—whether the grumblers like it or not. A pioneer, Pontet-Canet has sparked a powerful movement in the Médoc that is now setting the standard.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 96-98/100
About the wine:
The 2025 Pontet-Canet is a wine of exquisite class. Silky, aromatic, and vibrant, the 2025 is all about finesse. Crushed red and purple fruits, lavender, rose petals, and a gentle hint of spice are all beautifully integrated. Pontet-Canet is one of the most refined and sublime wines of the year. It could turn out to be even better than my score suggests. Tasted twice. Antonio Galloni
