Vieux Chateau Certan 2013
This Chateau, which already appeared in 1745 on the famous map of Bellayme under the name of 'Sertan', is located in the heart of the Pomerol plain. It extends for 14 hectares in a single block, and the vineyard is the result of passion and hard work. Today it is made up of 65% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet Sauvignon. After the manual harvest, the musts are vinified in new French barriques for about twenty months.
Intense ruby red on the nose with aromas of undergrowth, truffle, cherry blossom and cocoa. On the palate the texture is agile with hints of fresh plum and morello cherry in the finish.
Vieux Chateau Certan
Vieux Château Certan is one of the oldest known growths in Pomerol.
In 1924, Georges Thienpont, a Flemish wine merchant, purchased the property. This marked the beginning of the family’s presence in the Bordeaux region.
Vieux Château Certan is the result of a very special eco-system in which the soil, the vines and the climate blend harmoniously together to produce exceptional wine.
As the culmination of long years of experience and observation, the Vieux Château Certan cellars combine the best of tradition with today’s technicity and precision.
The vinifications are carried out in temperature-controlled oak vats. They regulate them at 28°C to ensure a gentle, measured extraction.
Inside the cellars, materials and equipment have been chosen with meticulous care in order to provide the best possible conditions for both the wine and the
environment.
