Vieux Château Certan 2011

WineSaint

Dark cherry and earthy minerality define this elegant Pomerol. Cedar and dried herbs complement the core of black fruit, while firm tannins provide backbone without overwhelming the medium frame. Shows classic restraint with underlying power that suggests excellent aging potential. A wine built for the long haul.

Vieux Château Certan

One of Pomerol's oldest and most respected estates, Vieux Château Certan sits at the plateau's heart and has long distinguished itself by leaning harder on Cabernet Franc than most of its neighbours.
