Vineyard Info
CHATEAU PONTET PLAISANCE is owned and managed by producer Jean-Claude and Anicette Arnaud who are the 4th generation to run this estate which is planted to 70% Merlot and 15% each of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc. The oldest and prettiest region of Bordeaux still retains its position as one of leading producers of fine wine. The soils here have more clay in them and as a consequence are planted with mostly Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which leads to a richer, more alcoholic and more supple style of claret, faster to mature but less long lived.
