WineSaint
Dark cherry and violet notes flow with remarkable poise, lifted by herbal freshness that speaks to the Cabernet Franc component. Medium-bodied with polished tannins that suggest serious aging potential. The mineral-driven finish shows restraint and class. A sleeper that should reward patience through 2038.

→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.
