The Pontet Canet '11 is 90 percent of the crop. That's like asking First Growths to blend most of their 3rd wine into the Grand Vin. #bdx11

SCARY!!!

il faut bien capitaliser sur les grosses critique....

Voici le commentaire de dégustation(En Primeurs) de Neal martin sur Pontet Canet 2011,même avec 90% de la récolte il a une meilleur cote "primeurs" que Mouton et lafite,il partage un 94-96 avec Latour.....

2011 Chateau Pontet Canet 94-96
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2011 Pontet Canet has a voluptuous bouquet with saturated dark cherry fruit, crème de cassis and a touch of blueberry with underlying minerality. It is exuberant, almost ostentatious at first, but it begins to calm down with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm structured cloaked by layers of ripe black fruit infused with minerals and graphite. It is a quite a strict Pontet Canet underneath what is a hell of a lot of fruit for a 2011. The finish is composed with a touch of citrus fruit towards the finish. Amazing that such a good wine comes from 90% of the crop. Tasted April 2012
