Beskrivelse

Vieux Château Certan er en af Pomerols mest prestigefyldte ejendomme. Med topterroir, Thienpont-familiens ekspertise og en klassisk Merlot-baseret stil forener slottet dybde og elegance i verdensklasse. En vin med både sjæl og aristokratisk karakter.

  • Vinous

    The 2021 Vieux Château Certan may very well be the wine of the vintage on the Right Bank. Intensely aromatic and nuanced, with exceptional balance, the 2021 is super-classy right out of the gate. Naturally, it doesn't have the richness or density of most prior vintages, but it more than makes up for that with its sublime harmony and overall freshness. All the elements are so well proportioned. Readers should plan on cellaring this beauty for at least another handful of years

    N°85 TOP 100 JS FRANCE This wine is graceful and delicate, with a clarity and beauty showing aromas of mushrooms, bark, forest floor and violets. Cherries and raspberries, too. Medium-bodied with silky, ultra-fine tannins, it runs long and true. Very crunchy and full of acid tension, this has historical character but is still modern and brilliant. 77% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 3% cabernet sauvignon.

  • Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2021 Vieux Château Certan has turned out beautifully in bottle, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cigar wrapper, black truffle, burning embers, mint and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with impressive density, beautifully refined tannins and a long, gently vanillin-inflected finish, it's a blend of 77% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter imparting complexity and structure. The result is somewhat reminiscent of the estate's exceptional 2011, one of the wines of that unheralded vintage. 95+

Vieux Château Certan

Vieux Château Certan er en af de ældste ejendomme i Pomerol. Den blev grundlagt i begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede, hvor Demay familien ankom fra Skotland for at bosætte sig i Bordeauxregionen. Ejendommen optræder så tidligt som i 1785 på Belleymes kort over området. På den tid var navnet imidlertid "Sertan".
 
I 1858 overtog Charles de Bousquet ejendommen, og det var ham der opførte det nuværende slot, der på smukkeste vis præger vines etikette. I 1924 blev slottet og de tilhørende marker atter omsat, da den flamske vinhandler Georges Thienpont købte Vieus Château Certan, og det er i dag i samme families eje.
 
Vinmarkerne på Vieux Château Certan dækker et areal på 14 hektar, der er plantet i en enkelt blok, der er opdelt i 23 forskellige parceller, som alle håndteres individuelt alt afhængig af undergrund, druesorter og vinstokkenes alder. Undergrunden varierer meget fra lerholdig, der hovedsagelig er beplantet med Merlot til en kombinations af grus og ler, hvor Cabernet Franc dominerer. Endvidere har findes et meget grusholdigt plantet, der er beplantet med Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinstokkene har en gennemsnitsalder på over 50 år.
