Pontet Canet

A century later, Château Pontet-Canet was enjoying an extraordinary period of prosperity. The famous classification of 1855, ordered by Emperor Napoleon III, brought the estate recognition. Château Pontet-Canet now figured on the list of Médoc Grands Crus Classés. Pontet-Canet, the first renowned large-scale Bordeaux wine estate to venture into organic and biodynamic farming, was also the first among the Grands Crus Classés to be awarded double certification for the whole vineyard.
