This lot comprises twelve bottles of 1985 vintage Château Pontet-Canet from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux.

The Pauillac appellation produces some of the world’s most highly-prized and expensive red wines. Situated to the northwest of the city of Bordeaux, near the Atlantic coast, its vineyards are located on dried-out swamplands. Vines take root in gravel dunes with subterranean clay lens. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon can develop a unique depth of taste and power, so the grape variety therefore makes up a large percentage of the Pauillac cuvées. The tannin-rich, powerful, concentrated wines require longer bottle-ageing in order to differentiate and reveal their taste. The Classification of 1855 put the vineyards of the Lafite-Rothschild and Latour estates ahead of the pack, awarding them Premier cru status. Mouton-Rothschild has also belonged to the club since 1973. In second place are the Deuxième crus of Pichon-Longueville-Baron and Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse de Lalande. For decades, however, experts have judged them as being at least on a par with their Premier cru counterparts. This is also the case for numerous other top wines from this appellation.

1985 was an extremely successful wine year in Bordeaux that often wrongly stands in the shadow of the 1982 and 1986 vintages. Wines from this year are unique in their richness and complexity. This is a mature wine that will undoubtedly be a true pleasure to drink.

The fill levels are excellent (into neck). The labels and capsules are in perfect condition.
