From the first swirl, Vieux Chateau Certan 2020 shows depths of dark cassis and plum layered with violet, graphite, mocha and subtle spice. The palate is seamless and concentrated yet weightless, with ultra-fine tannins, great clarity of fruit and a long, precise, savory-mineral finish that promises extraordinary evolution in bottle. A benchmark modern Pomerol that is both powerful and supremely refined.

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.
