Vieux Château Certan

Dark berry colour, plums and spice, brilliant, sweet and precise and very fresh on the attack, “There are 800 hectares of vines in Pomerol, 300 hectares were wiped out completely, 300 hectares had 50% Frost damage and 200 hectares all on the Pomerol plateau had no frost at all” explained Alexandre Thienpont. He continues that “one of the keys to the magic of VCC 2017 is the 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, which is very young as it was only planted in 2012 and is there in the blend only for its aromas – camomile, violet - but not more, to avoid dilution.” One of the top wines yet again in Bordeaux, this wine has lovely tension, gorgeous red and black fruit flavours, is fresh, cool and classic with everything in balance and nothing overdone. Bravo!
