Château Haut-Pontet
 
Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
 
Located within sight of the Medieval city of St. Emilion, this outstanding property of the limestone and clay plateau of St. Emilion produces wines in a classic and rich style, a style that has given this region its world-famous reputation. Nestled among many of the great properties of St. Emilion, the terroir and attention to detail has elevated the quality of this wine to that of its better known (and more expensive) neighbors.

After tasting this wine, I realized why it received a Gold Medal at the 1998 Region of Aquitaine Judging. In fact, this wine has consistently earned gold and silver medals at the Paris and Aquitaine Fairs for every vintage since 1994.

Rich with Merlot fruit stands tall with a touch of Cabernet Franc (5%) to add firmness to the structure and perfume to the bouquet. This wine is well balanced and a classic example of a well-made St. Emilion Grand Cru at an equally attractive price.
