Seductive depth defines Vieux Château Certan 2018, layering dark berries and plum with hints of truffle, tobacco and warm spice over a core of vividly pure fruit. Cabernet Franc makes its presence felt in the beautiful lift, aromatic complexity and fine, persistent tannins, giving this plush, dense Pomerol both muscle and poise for the long haul.

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.
