Since the top vintages of 2015 and 2016, many tasters have seen the winery on a par with the Premier Grand Crus, some of which are still significantly more expensive. In recent decades, the vintages that ended with a seven were usually characterized by heavy rainfall. In 2017, it was first the spring frost that shaped the vintage, but luckily only caused relatively manageable damage at Pontet-Canet. Then a thoroughly positive summer for the development of the vines. There was still rain in September, but ultimately healthy grapes with perfect physiological ripeness. Probably not quite as great as the previous vintages of 2016 and 2015, but rated higher than 2014. Delivered in a wooden box of 6.
