A wine with remarkable texture, featuring silky tannins and a hint of balsamic character from the ageing process. The overall impression is fresh, elegant, and full of supple richness. |

A remarkable opportunity! This Grand Cru from Saint-Émilion, neighboring Premier Crus Clos Fourtet and Beau-Séjour Bécot, has everything it takes to rival the very best—especially in outstanding vintages.
The 2019 Château Grand-Pontet is a clear standout: a Saint-Émilion for true connoisseurs and lovers of the limestone plateau, now offered at a price lower than its original En Primeur release… |

Grounded in the full, balanced ripeness of the vintage, the 2019 Red Saint-Émilion Grand Cru opens with a beautifully expressive nose of ripe fruit—warm notes of blackcurrant lifted by a touch of oak, which adds a toasted edge and a touch of savory vanilla. The texture is refined and silky, framed by smooth tannins. A hint of balsamic character from the ageing process adds complexity, while the wine retains freshness, depth, elegance, and a generous, almost hedonistic feel. A stunning bottle with 15 years of ageing potential. Rated 93/100 by Best Sommelier in the World Olivier Poussier. |
