Description

The richness and delicateness of a great Pomerol wine

The estate

Vieux Château Certan is one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Pomerol terroir, acquired over a century ago by the grandfather of Alexandre Thienpont, the estate's current owner.

The vineyard

Covering 14 hectares in a single block, the Vieux Certan vineyard benefits from fertile soils and rigorous attention to detail, producing Pomerol wines renowned for their aromatic finesse and elegance.

The vintage

The end of winter, marked by mild, dry conditions, advanced early budburst at the end of March. The mild weather at the beginning of April stretched into a hot, dry summer, which the vines were able to withstand. A restorative spell of rain in mid-August boosted ripening. Harvested at optimum ripeness in early September, the grapes, despite their small size, revealed a great vintage of wonderful concentration and balance. 

Blend

Merlot (75%)
Cabernet franc (20%)
Cabernet Sauvignon (5%)
