Vieux Château Certan 2017

Pomerol, France

Powerful and concentrated, with dense black fruit, cedar and crushed herbs building in layers. The structure is formidable. Broad tannins and serious weight that demands patience. There's an austere elegance beneath the power that distinguishes this from more approachable Pomerols. A towering effort from the Thienponts built for decades.

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.
