Vieux Chateau Certan 2005

HED0742 75cl 13%
The 2005 Vieux Château Certan is a marvellous release composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It is full-bodied, powerful and impeccably balanced, offering up wonderful interplay of rich black fruits and savoury notes of truffle, dark chocolate, dried herbs and black olive. Though wonderful to drink now, this should continue to evolve nicely over the next decade.

Vieux Chateau Certan

Vieux Chateau Certan

A key Pomerol estate covering 14 hectares, Vieux Château Certan or "VCC" as it's sometimes known is regularly ranked as one of the Right Bank's top properties. The vineyard is planted with around 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Picking and sorting is done by hand and varietals are vinified separately in large oak vats. The juice destined for the Grand Vin is run off into 100% new oak for over 18 months before bottling.

The history of the estate dates back to at least the 16th century, when it was purchased by the Demay family from Scotland. The current owners, the Thienpont family, purchased the property in the mid-1920s and were instrumental in establishing their wine's reputation in the region.
