VIEUX CHÂTEAU CERTAN
Red
- 2009
- Pomerol
Vieux Château Certan is certainly, with a high proportion of Cabernet Franc (30% on average), the most classic, firm and distinguished Pomerol wine. It does not have the softness and immediate charm of other great Pomerol, but still keeps all these promises as it ages. Very classy!

Second wine of the Vieux Château Certan, where we find the authenticity, the race and the seriousness of the great wine.
Rated 91/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 La Gravette de Certan, which comes from younger vines (Merlot from 1998 and Cabernet Sauvignon from 2012), has a pretty nose with pencil shavings infusing the black fruit, atypical for this cuvée. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, very smooth, quite nervy with a citrus-like, very focused, peppery finish. Very fine.» (December 2022)
