Flavour notes

Deep in colour, with a generous aromatic register of ripe fruit, black cherry, cassis, black raspberry, mulberry, plum and redcurrant. Violet and rose bring a floral lift, while truffle, cocoa, liquorice, tea, tobacco and a cigar-box note add darker, more savoury detail.

On the palate it is medium-full to full-bodied, with concentrated red and black fruit, clear freshness and very fine ripe tannins. The texture is velvety, the finish long, with mineral and slightly iron-like accents keeping the ripe fruit focused.

Product info about Vieux Chateau Certan 2018

Vieux Château Certan 2018 is the Grand Vin of this Pomerol estate on Bordeaux's Right Bank. It comes from a single contiguous vineyard block on the Pomerol plateau, and the 2018 blend is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon is not part of the final blend for this vintage, so the wine's identity is built around Merlot's depth and Cabernet Franc's texture, freshness and length.

The growing season was shaped by a mild, very wet winter-to-spring period, followed by a warm, dry summer after successful flowering. The water reserves built up earlier in the year helped the older vines cope with the later drought. In the glass, that background translates into a Pomerol described as deeply coloured, concentrated and balanced, with ripe fine tannins and notable freshness.

Within the selection at Drankenshop Broekmans, this is very much a serious Bordeaux for the cellar. The available drinking window is 2027 to 2057, with the first bottles considered approachable after roughly eight to ten years and the rest capable of much longer ageing.

Availability is now limited, which underlines the considered nature of this bottle. It is a wine to open with dishes such as veal, beef, lamb, duck, game or poultry, whether roasted, braised, stewed or grilled.

Deep in colour, with a generous aromatic register of ripe fruit, black cherry, cassis, black raspberry, mulberry, plum and redcurrant. Violet and rose bring a floral lift, while truffle, cocoa, liquorice, tea, tobacco and a cigar-box note add darker, more savoury detail.

About VIEUX CHATEAU CERTAN

Vieux Chateau Certan is a respected winery from the renowned Bordeaux region in France, more specifically located in the heart of Pomerol. This vineyard has a long history, with roots dating back to the early 18th century. For generations, the estate has been family-owned, and it is currently run by Alexandre Thienpont. The vineyard, with an area of approximately 14 hectares, is situated on the characteristic clay and gravel soils of Pomerol that are internationally acclaimed for the unique character they impart to the wines. Mainly Merlot grapes are grown here, which, together with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and sometimes Cabernet Sauvignon, form the basis for the house`s cuvees. Vieux Chateau Certan is known for elegant, complex, and deeply layered red wines with a classic Pomerol profile. Despite their refinement, the wines generally offer a rich structure and aging potential, making them popular among both connoisseurs and collectors. Through years of artisanal vinification and meticulous attention to detail, the estate has firmly established itself within the quality segment of Bordeaux, with each vintage being valued for its balance between power and finesse.
