Subtle richness defines the 2018 La Gravette de Certan, which layers ripe redcurrant and plum fruit with hints of cocoa, cedar and tobacco over a supple yet structured frame. The palate is silky and composed, with fine-grained tannins and a long, fresh finish that reflects the wine’s Merlot-driven charm and the precision of this ripe vintage.

La Gravette de Certan is the second wine of Pomerol’s Vieux Château Certan, a Merlot‑led blend (typically ~65–75% Merlot with significant Cabernet Franc and a little Cabernet Sauvignon) that captures the gravel‑and‑clay terroir of the Pomerol plateau. Introduced as the estate’s second label, it is made and oak‑aged in a style that mirrors the grand vin—scented, plush and early‑accessible with the floral, tobacco and dark‑fruit signature and the savoury structure that marks Vieux Château Certan’s wines.
