🏰 The 1981 vintage in Bordeaux was a solid, if not spectacular, year, producing wines that have aged gracefully for those from top estates. This Chateau Pontet-Canet 1981, from a renowned Pauillac Fifth Growth, is a rare find that should display 【complex tertiary aromas of dried fruit, cedar, tobacco, and forest floor, with a soft, elegant palate and a long, lingering finish, showcasing the beauty of aged Bordeaux】.
🍴 This venerable Bordeaux demands classic pairings like roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or mature hard cheeses. For a refined Chinese pairing, consider braised abalone or a slow-cooked beef stew with star anise.
🥂 An extraordinary wine for a significant anniversary, a collector's tasting, or a truly memorable occasion.
*Kindly remember that with wines of this age, the cork and capsule may be fragile. Decanting is highly recommended to allow the wine to breathe and to separate any sediment.*
BACKGROUND
Château Pontet-Canet is a wine estate located in the Pauillac region and ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.The 81-hectare (200-acre) vineyard is located at the heart of the Pauillac appellation, just south of châteaux Mouton Rothschild and d'Armailhac. The soil is made up of Garonne gravel on limestone bedrock and is warm and well-drained, providing perfect conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, which accounts for 62 percent of plantings. Merlot makes up 32 percent of the rest, and there are small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot as well. Viticulture is certified organic and biodynamic and in recent years a team of working horses have been introduced.
