Château Pontet-Canet 2020
Neighbour to Mouton Rothschild, Pontet-Canet has become one of Bordeaux’s most forward-thinking estates. The Tesseron family were pioneers of biodynamics on the Left Bank, with horses still working the vines, and were early adopters of amphora ageing alongside traditional oak. This blend of tradition and innovation has propelled the estate to the front rank of Pauillac. The 2020 is a superb expression of this philosophy: deep, pure and finely structured, with intense cassis and dark berry fruit wrapped in velvety tannins. Notes of graphite, violets, and spice add complexity, while a natural energy and freshness give it both power and finesse. A wine of poise and precision, built to age beautifully.
Philippe Pacalet, Cornas 2021
Philippe Pacalet is easily one of our favourite Burgundians, combining a wicked sense of humour with his own bold approach to winemaking that has placed him at the forefront of the Cote d’Or. What else would you expect from the former winemaker at the illustrious Domaine Prieuré-Roch?! We’re always delighted to visit Philippe in Burgundy and few winemakers are able to express the complex character of a vintage in such few words. His wines have reached cult status worldwide, remaining viscerally exciting and characterised by energy, intensity, authenticity, complex tannins and a “funky purity”.
