Since 1980, the Grand Cru Classé estate has been owned by the Becot family, owners of Château Beau-Sejour Becot and La Gomier in Saint-Émilion, and Joanin Becot in Côtes de Bordeaux Castillon. Château Grand-Pontet produces a single Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend and a second wine, Dauphin de Grand Pontet. The estate spans 14 hectares (36 acres) of vines in a single block composed of three soil types: a shallow layer of soil on limestone, clay-limestone and sandy soil with clay-limestone subsoil. The site is planted to 70 percent Merlot, 15 percent Cabernet Franc and 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with vines averaging 35 years old. The grapes are first handpicked and sorted in the vineyard, then again in the cellar. The berries are fermented with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and are macerated for up to five weeks for additional extraction. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels, and is then aged in barrel for 14-18 months in French oak, 60-80 percent of which is new. Château Grand-Pontet produces around 55,000 bottles annually.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42827298603146,"sku":"","price":222.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/61_f2b5bb58-9abc-4a80-a1e6-ee8aaf09b801.jpg?v=1678230011","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es-it\/products\/2011-chateau-grand-pontet-saint-emilion-grand-cru","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
