Media Reviews
Neal Martin
The 2015 Grand Pontet has a more opulent bouquet than some of its peers, although I found more control and definition here. The palate is medium-bodied with a sprinkle of dark chocolate on the entry, although here it does not occlude the terroir, and the fineness of the tannins can be seen underneath. It is a bold Saint Émilion, but it does not push everything too far. 91-93 points

Accent on the dark fruit. Not overly demonstrative but fresh and balanced. Touch dry on the finish. 88 points
