Description

Château Pont-Charan 2024 is a classic representative of the Bordeaux AOC, stemming from the broader regional appellation rather than one of the prestigious sub-appellations. As a red Bordeaux, it is most likely a blend dominated by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with possible additions of Cabernet Franc or Malbec, resulting in a wine that balances supple fruit with structured tannins. The 2024 vintage, being young, is expected to exhibit vibrant aromas of red and black fruits – think cassis, cherry, and plum – with subtle notes of spice and a touch of earthiness typical of Bordeaux’s terroir. Its vinification is traditional, favouring stainless steel or concrete tanks for fermentation to preserve the fruit-forward character, followed by a short period of ageing, often in neutral vessels rather than new oak, lending freshness and accessibility in the wine’s youth.
