The 2006 Les Hauts de Pontet-Canet, the second wine of Château Pontet-Canet, is a well-structured Pauillac blend crafted from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and small portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It showcases a deep color and a complex nose featuring blackberry, licorice, and cedar. On the palate, it offers a classic Pauillac structure with smooth tannins and a long, savory finish.

Deep ruby in the glass with garnet hues. Ripe, juicy nose still fruit-driven, but complemented nicely with some tobacco, forest leaves, mocha.
