Château Grand Pontet - Saint-Emilion grand cru - Red - 2019

Wine:

Grounded in the full, balanced ripeness of the vintage, the 2019 Red Saint-Émilion Grand Cru opens with a beautifully expressive nose of ripe fruit—warm notes of blackcurrant lifted by a touch of oak, which adds a toasted edge and a touch of savory vanilla. The texture is refined and silky, framed by smooth tannins. A hint of balsamic character from the ageing process adds complexity, while the wine retains freshness, depth, elegance, and a generous, almost hedonistic feel. A stunning bottle with 15 years of ageing potential. Rated 93/100 by Best Sommelier in the World Olivier Poussier.
