Graphite and crushed rocks anchor this cerebral Pomerol, with red berry fruit emerging slowly beneath the mineral framework. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without weight, while the finish stretches long with stone-like purity. An intellectual wine built for contemplation and patience.

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.
