Vieux Château Certan 2008 is a full-bodied red wine produced in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Vieux Château Certan is one of the leading properties in Pomerol. Already documented in 1745, the Certan estate these days comprises vineyards made up of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2008 is a blend of A blend of 70% of Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. "The 2008 Vieux Château Certan has a timid bouquet at first and demands a lot of coaxing from the glass. I wonder if this is in the middle of a closed down phase? This VCC seems to leave all the action on the palate. filigree tannin, a silver bead of acidity, very pure and complex towards the finish with truffle and smoke infusing the red berry fruit. Wonderful persistence (as usual for VCC). Keep it for a few more years is what Alexandre Thienpont suggests and who am I to disagree." Neal Martin, 2018

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.
