2010 Brane Cantenac introduced many technical improvements with the 2010 vintage, including the Air Tec system and The Optical Sorting Machine with great success.
In 2010, Chateau Lafite Rothschild is pure refined elegance. While not the most powerful First Growth, it’s the most regal in bearing.
With intense purity, tannins that feel like hand polished silk and a beautiful, pure, long, harmonious rich finish, there is not a hard edge to be found. This opulent wine is a treat for the senses.
Prats thinks 2010 Cos d’Estournel is a perfect definition for what Bordeaux does at its best, blending austerity, power and elegance. While he loves the 2009 for its glamorous style, he considers that a unique vintage for the chateau.
The best food and wine pairings follow this simple rule. Complex wine, simple food. Simple wines, Complex food.
2010 marks the first Pontet Canet vintage the wine is produced from 100% bio dynamic as well as organic. Pontet Canet was certified biodynamic. Organic certification was awarded by Ecocert. The bio dynamic certification comes from biodyvin.
