Silky yet tightly structured, the 2014 Vieux Château Certan layers vivid black cherry and plum fruit with notes of dark berries, floral lift, cool stone and subtle spice. The palate shows beautiful energy and precision, combining depth of flavor with refined tannins and a long, focused, mineral-tinged finish that clearly points to a classic, ageworthy Pomerol.

Vieux Château Certan is a benchmark Pomerol grand vin from the Thienpont family, sourced from a single 14-hectare plateau vineyard of predominantly old-vine Merlot with significant Cabernet Franc and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinified traditionally and aged 18–24 months in French oak, it is known for combining depth and longevity with a remarkably refined, silky style, expressing Pomerol’s clay-and-gravel terroir through layered dark fruit, floral, truffle and mineral complexity.
