The Grandeur of Château Grand-Pontet, Saint-Émilion

A true gem of the Right Bank, Château Grand-Pontet holds the esteemed title of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. The vineyard sits on the famed clay-limestone plateau, adjacent to some of the region’s top estates. Predominantly Merlot, the wine is crafted for both immediate pleasure and impressive longevity. Now under the ownership of Domaine Clarence Dillon (owners of First Growth Château Haut-Brion), this estate is producing wines of unparalleled precision and elegance.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Colour: Intense, inky purple with a vibrant core.
• Nose: An aromatic tapestry of black cherry, cassis, rich mocha, and a hint of graphite, complemented by subtle vanilla and spice from its time in new French oak.
• Palate: Full, yet beautifully balanced, the wine boasts a plush texture and a firm, mineral backbone. The tannins are chewy and refined, leading to a persistent, elegant finish that speaks of its noble terroir. A wine of significant pedigree.
