1976 Chateau Pontet-Canet & 1979 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux - Pauillac

2 bottles – Duo of great Bordeaux from the 1970s 1 x Château Pontet-Canet 1976 – Pauillac – 5th Grand Cru Classé in 1855 1 x Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 1979 – Margaux AOC, 2nd wine of Château Margaux A left-bank duo bringing together two emblematic Médoc appellations, Pauillac and Margaux, and two estates captured at a pivotal moment in their history: the very first vintages under their new owners, who would lead them to the top. — CHÂTEAU PONTET-CANET 1976 – PAUILLAC Château Pontet-Canet is one of the largest estates in the Médoc, classified 5th Grand Cru in 1855 and a neighbor of Mouton Rothschild. Acquired in 1975 by the Tesseron family, it is today among the most respected Pauillacs. This 1976 is one of the very first vintages produced under the direction of Guy Tesseron, whose name appears on the label: a historic page of the estate. The 1976 vintage, hot and dry, produced supple and generous wines. With fifty years of bottle age, one can expect tertiary aromas of cedar, leather, tobacco, undergrowth and dried fruits. The perfect gift for a 50th birthday. — PAVILLON ROUGE DU CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1979 – MARGAUX Pavillon Rouge is the second wine of Château Margaux, Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855 and one of the world's most prestigious estates. From the same vines and vinified by the same teams as the grand vin, it shares its elegance and finesse. The 1979 vintage is among the very first of the Mentzelopoulos era. The family acquired the château in 1977 and, with the renowned oenologist Émile Peynaud, launched a renaissance that brought Château Margaux back to the summit. A classic and successful Margaux vintage, with a structured character. The wine today shows a tertiary profile: cedar, leather, tobacco, undergrowth and candied red fruits. — CONDITION Château Pontet-Canet 1976 Level: neck level, exceptional for a 50-year-old wine.
