We are very excited to have David Ornon here from famed Bordeaux Chateau Pontet Canet. Their sales director is here for just one event, an incredible vertical tasting of 8 vintages, including some of the finest years of the past decade. We will be tasting the 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. Ranked as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification, Pontet-Canet has seen a meteoric rise in quality in recent years. It is now one of the most popular wines in Bordeaux, and one of the greatest wine estates in the world, selling for $200-$400 a bottle. Over three centuries it has been owned by only three families, the latest being the Tesserons since 1975. Under his guidance of Alfred Tesseron, the quality has risen to the point where they are producing wines often the equal of the First Growths. They are also a pioneer in sustainable, organic and biodynamic winemaking for the region, everything here is done by hand. The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horses, and a growing proportion of the wine is matured in terra cotta amphoras. This stunning tasting is heavily subsidised by the Chateau, to allow as many of our customers as possible to experience this world famous wine.
