A perusal of critics’ reviews and most importantly, feedback from contented oenophiles themselves, surely indicate that Pontet-Canet fully deserves the moniker as the ‘new Super Second’.” (Neal Martin, www.erobertparker.com, Nov. 2009).
Pontet Canet’s remarkable Grand Cru Classé wines are an embodiment of the dreams of Alfred Tesseron, Propriétaire, and those of Pontet-Canet’s passionate winemaker Jean-Michel Comme. These two men have achieved something no one else in Bordeaux has attempted—a holistic approach to winemaking.
“They are alike in terms of their commitment and passion; complement each other in terms of Jean-Michel’s daring to approach wine in his unique way and Alfred’s mandate to allow him to put them into practice and realize his vision.
‘We are never happy. We always criticize ourselves. Jean-Michel is a lovely man, a man who always looks back and says what we should have done different. The real dynamic is that we are always searching for something and never sit back.’ I believe that last sentence neatly encapsulates the central tenet of Pontet-Canet.” (Neal Martin, www.erobertparker.com, Nov. 2009).
The brandies released under the Tesseron name come from a stock of fine cognacs, the rarest dating back to 1929, amassed by their grandfather Abel. Small amounts are gleaned from the casks which lie in the family cellars, blended and bottled under this boutique label.
