Le Vieux Château Certan, un des noms célèbres de Pomerol, fait la fierté de ses propriétaires, la famille Thienpont.
The purity and complexity is so mesmerizing for 2017. Raspberries and black fruit with sweet-tobacco and blood-orange undertones. Medium to full body. The tannins are so polished and pure and push out the edges on the wine. Fresh and pretty. Deep. Needs two or three years to perfect it. Try after 2023.
Composed of 81% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Vieux Château Certan gives up gorgeous black raspberries, crushed black currants and warm black berries on the nose with chocolate-covered cherries, violets and star anise suggestions plus black truffles and wood smoke. The palate is medium to full-bodied with wonderful concentration in the mid-palate and firm, very finely pixelated tannins, with seamless freshness and fantastic length.
Marqué par ses 15 % de cabernet franc et ses 5 % de cabernet-sauvignon, voilà un cru qui ne cesse de monter en puissance. Vigueur de sève en bouche et un soyeux de grand millésime avec une grande distinction.
