Silky yet intensely focused, Vieux Château Certan 2022 layers pure black cherry and plum fruit with floral lift, cool spice and a touch of graphite over astonishing length. The high proportion of Cabernet in this vintage brings extra aromatic finesse, freshness and precision to the plush Merlot core, giving a Pomerol that feels both sensual and finely chiseled. Texture, balance and persistence are remarkable, promising a truly great evolution in bottle.

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.
