Description

Vieux Château Certan is the flagship Pomerol property of the illustrious Thienpont family and the 2017 is, once again, a superlative release. Comprising 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is deep garnet-purple in colour and offers up wonderfully bold scents of lush black fruits, bitter chocolate, spring flowers, truffle and liquorice. Medium- to full-bodied, it is supremely well-balance on the palate, fine emery tannins, effortless freshness and length to burn.
