Chateau Pontet-Canet是大眾公認品質遠超過五級酒莊的超級實力派，更在神之雫24集中透過主角之口用「寶塚的舞台」一詞來形容它所蘊藏的潛力！
「寶塚歌舞團」是日本百年劇團，以絢爛華麗的舞台風格及清一色採用女演員來演出動人奪目的歌舞劇，正符合Pontet-Canet給人既優雅纖細又華麗的印象！
Chateau Pontet-Canet在波爾多1855年的分級中，被遴選為第五級頂級酒莊。座落在Pauillac村的中北部，緊鄰著一級酒莊Chateau Mouton-Rothschild，面積120公頃的佔地中有80公頃是葡萄園，土壤表層主要是本地典型的礫石，下面則混合了黏土和石灰岩，種植了60% Cabernet-Sauvignon、32% Merlot，其他為Cabernet Franc和Petit Verdot，平均樹齡35歲。
從1975年以來，本酒莊一直是干邑白蘭地酒商Guy Tesseron的產業，但是在1994年份之前的其表現僅屬平平，直到1994年年輕一輩的Alfred Tesseron開始接掌本酒莊之後，勵精圖治於改善設備和葡萄園管理，並聘請知名釀酒師來負責釀造。改建後的酒窖採用先進的重力導流系統，並在2005年份起使用獨特的圓椎型混凝土發酵槽，是波爾多釀造工程上的先驅。在Alfred Tesseron的努力之下， 1994年份開始的Pontet-Canet酒質有了驚人的進步，其表現甚至直逼一些頂尖的二級酒莊，可以說它現在已經達到本酒莊史上前所未有的超高水準。連最著名的波爾多酒評家Robert Parker也屢次給予本酒莊高度的讚賞：“One can’t say enough about the extraordinary work proprietor Alfred Tesseron has done s Cince 1994 in taking Pontet-Canet to a remarkable level of quality.”

The 2019 Pontet-Canet offers up an expressive bouquet of plummy fruit, kirsch, dried herbs and peonies. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and seamless, with melting tannins, succulent acids, and a long, liqueured finish. Tasted twice, it's a wine I find somewhat perplexing: in a blind tasting, I might be more inclined to place it in Gigondas than Pauillac. I'm far from dogmatic when it comes to what the French call "typicité," and stylistic diversity surely enriches every appellation; but by the same token, I'm not convinced that this is the most compelling aesthetic that a Cabernet-based blend from this part of Bordeaux can realize. Checking in at 13.7% alcohol, some 35% of the production was matured in amphorae, which no doubt contributes to the wine's idiosyncratic identity.
