Now perfectly ripe champagne with everything you can expect from this appelation and producer. Rich, complex and briochy to drink now or in 1-3 years. Well done!

Bought this bottle 10 years ago directly at the chateau after a drive thru the vineyards with a golf car. 2001 was one of the last years before the transformation of Pontet Canet to biodynamie and much higher prices. This bottle was a real treat. Amazing pauillac cassis and dark fruits, now perfectly integrated tannins and a nice earthiness with mushrooms, wet forestfloor and some tobacco after 23 years. Drink up, i think this is not to get any better from here... (Some years ago i have seen a documentation on TV about Pontet Canet and in an interview monsieur Tesseron told the audience that 2001 was his preferred vintage to drink right now.)
