Vieux Château Certan
Pomerol
3
Red
This is once again a fantastic effort from one of the leading Pomerol estates. According to Alexandre Thienpont, this vintage brings us back to the classic Bordeaux wines of the past; not only are the alcohol percentages lower, but also the subtlety of the aromas and freshness are old-fashioned. Made from a blend of 77% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, Guillaume Thienpont used as much Cabernet as he could. In the nose, aromas of graphite are intertwined with dark fruit notes of blackberries and blueberries. On the palate, the Cabernets take a leading role with beautiful precise, juicy fruit which wraps around the fine, well integrated tannins. Intense and elegant in the finish. Alexandre & Guillaume once again succeed in presenting one of the great wines of the vintage. Max. 24 btls.
