Château Pontet-Canet is a historic winery in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. Founded in 1365, the estate is renowned for both its powerful, complex reds, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, and its elegant, aromatic whites made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Sauvignon Gris.

Château Pontet-Canet is an 81-hectare Pauillac estate dating to 1725, owned by the Tesseron family since 1975, producing Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines from deep gravel soils adjacent to Mouton Rothschild at 23-26 meters elevation. The estate pioneered biodynamic viticulture among classified growths, earning Demeter certification in 2010, while maintaining traditional Bordeaux winemaking through 16-20 months aging in French oak and concrete amphorae.
