Silky layers of blue and black fruits define Vieux Château Certan 2023, with pristine blueberries, ripe mulberry and raspberry lifted by violet, mineral and gentle woody spice notes. The palate is medium-bodied but intensely focused, gliding on ultra-fine tannins with a cool, graphite-tinged precision and a long, pure finish that feels both serene and powerful. This is a remarkably composed, classically styled Pomerol with an almost weightless depth that promises outstanding 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.
