What is the difference between Vieux Château Certan and the second wine La Gravette de Certan?
Vieux Château Certan also produces a second wine, La Gravette de Certan, which offers access to the estate's universe in a more approachable style. Sourced from younger vines and blends not retained for the grand vin, La Gravette de Certan shares the aromatic DNA of Vieux Château Certan — that characteristic elegance, minerality and fruity backbone — but with a more supple structure and faster maturity. It is an excellent entry point for discovering the estate's style, while retaining the care and exacting standards that define every bottle signed by Thienpont.
