The history of Château Pontet-Canet begins in the 18th century when Jean-François de Pontet acquired plots of land in Pauillac. The merger with the Canet vineyards gave rise to Château Pontet-Canet. In 1855, the property was consecrated among the elite of Médoc viticulture, becoming a Grand Cru Classé de Pauillac. Over more than two hundred years, Château Pontet-Canet has had only three owners. Currently, leadership is in the hands of Alfred Tesseron, the son of Guy Tesseron, who is consolidating a lasting commitment to excellence. The terroir of Château Pontet-Canet consists of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. The property covers 120 hectares, dedicating 80 hectares to vine cultivation. Tradition, a quest for quality, and an exceptional terroir make Château Pontet-Canet one of the most illustrious properties in Pauillac and Médoc.
