Seductive from the first swirl, 2015 Vieux Château Certan layers ripe blueberry and blackberry fruit with floral perfume, dark licorice and a touch of warm earth, all wrapped in an effortlessly silky texture. The palate is deep yet beautifully poised, with very fine, persistent tannins and a long, cool, mineral-tinged finish that confirms why this vintage is regarded as one of the estate’s modern benchmarks.

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.
