(1/20/2013) The St. Regis Bali has created an exclusive experience for wine connoisseurs via seven-course dinner carefully crafted by their Chef de Cuisine Agung Gede paired with elegant wines from Château Pontet-Canet vineyards.
Mélanie Tesseron, the owner of Château Pontet-Canet together with the St. Regis’ chief sommelier Harald Wiesmann, will guide the privileged diners in attendance on Friday, February 8, 2013, through seven carefully paired wines selected to accompany a most memorable menu.
The evening commences with a cocktail and canapé reception at Kayuputi Champagne Bar at 7:00 pm followed by dinner at 7:30 at Kayuputi Restaurant.
Château Pontet-Canet
Château Pontet-Canet is located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, just south of Châteaux Mouton Rothschild and d’Armailhac. The 80-hectares (200 acres) estate is predominately planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, the signature variety for the great wines of Pauillac. The château’s winegrowing philosophy is to intervene as little as possible and as naturally as possible in the vineyard. Only traditional viticulture and cultivation practices are used to the vine’s long-term health.
Pontet-Canet has always been a legendary Médoc. It is deep ruby-red, crimson, and sometimes almost black color and has a characteristic bouquet of black fruit. Pontet-Canet combines power and elegance, as well as concentration and fullness on the palate. Rather sinewy in style, Pontet-Canet is clearly a classical wine with a tannic structure that provides excellent ageing potential.
Over two centuries, three different families have owned Pontet-Canet. Today Alfred Tesseron with his niece Mélanie Tesseron runs it.
