Vieux Château Certan

Vieux Château Certan is one of the most prestigious crus in the Pomerol appellation, with a wealth of expertise and craftsmanship. Since 1924, it has belonged to the Thienpont family, which has a strong presence in the great vineyards of Rive droite de Bordeaux.

Alexandre Thienpont and his son Guillaume are currently in charge, devoting all their passion and love to producing ever purer, more elegant wines, a mission that seems almost impossible given that the quality of the wines has long since reached its peak.

Vieux Château Certan is a 14-hectare single vineyard planted on the Pomerol plateau of clay, gravel and sand, with a high iron content in the subsoil. The grape varieties are 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are aged for 18 months in 100% new oak barrels.

La Gravette Certan is the Second wine produced on the estate.

Vieux Château Certan produces wines of infinite richness and seduction, renowned for their suppleness, freshness and persistence.

Description Vieux Château Certan 2024.

Vinous (A. Galloni): "The 2024 Vieux Château Certan is a delicate, elegant wine driven by its strong floral component from the significant presence of Cabernets in the blend this year. Silky tannins add to an impression of restraint. I can't remember tasting a young VCC with this equilibrium, one that approaches a Burgundian textural feel, for lack of a better word. The 2024 opens with a bit of time in the glass, but it is a decidedly understated, calm VCC. I can't wait to see how it ages."

La Revue du Vin de France: "A high-class, very VCC wine, driven by tracing Cabernet Franc (20%) and a remarkable balance between uprightness and velvetiness. The palate is fine, mid-potency, with a cashmere texture and very nuanced floral sapidity (vine flower, orange blossom). The graphite tannins, almost Medoc-like, are reminiscent of the 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and are supported by 5% well-integrated press. The ageing (two-thirds new barrels) accompanies a serene, firmly rooted style, all subtlety and relief."
