Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac AOC 2013 tempranillo-blanc The palate is nicely weightedPlaying more on delicacy than on the strength of the wood aging, Pontet Canet beautifully expresses the fruitiness, minerality and elegance of Pauillac. With low yields, only 15 hectoliters per hectare, this wine is in keeping with the 2011 and 2012 vintages.
