What distinguishes Vieux Château Certan from the other great wines of Pomerol?
Vieux Château Certan occupies a singular place on the Pomerol plateau thanks to its atypical grape blend for the appellation. Where the majority of estates rely almost exclusively on Merlot, Vieux Château Certan retains a significant proportion of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, a direct legacy of its Bordeaux past. This distinctive feature gives it a structure, an elegance and an aromatic complexity that bring it closer to the great Médocs than to its Pomerol neighbours. The result is a wine of great precision, recognisable above all others, with an exceptional length on the palate and an outstanding ageing potential.
