Mouton's Neighbor for $99
2017 Chateau Pontet-Canet Pauillac
Directly bordering Mouton Rothschild, Château Pontet-Canet delivers First Growth complexity at a fraction of its neighbor's $600+ price tag.

Tasting notes
Aroma
Unfolds with intense cassis, black cherry, and violet floral notes before revealing graphite, cedar box, pencil shavings, and crushed gravel.
Palate
Precise and layered on the palate. A concentrated core of dark blackberry and plum interweaves with fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

In Detail
First Growth terroir and biodynamic precision from Pauillac’s top gravel plateau
Directly bordering Mouton Rothschild, Château Pontet-Canet delivers First Growth complexity at a fraction of its neighbor's $600+ price tag. The stunning 2017 boasts two 96-point scores, and we’ve got it for just $99, by far the lowest price in the US.
For comparison's sake, retailers like WSJ and Wally's ask $150, and Plum Market demands $180. For the same exact bottle.
Under Alfred Tesseron, Pontet-Canet became the first major Grand Cru Classé to convert entirely to certified biodynamic farming, replacing heavy machinery with horses on Pauillac's elite gravel plateau and fermenting portions of the harvest in custom concrete amphorae. The 2017 vintage showcases the rewards of that obsessive vineyard care, yielding a bottling of remarkable purity, tension, and balance.
Blending 64% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, the 2017 combines architectural structure with vibrant fruit clarity. With some national merchants pushing this bottle well past $200, landing a pristine Pauillac allocation under $100 is an extraordinary buy. Secure your bottles before this pricing disappears.
