Vieux Chateau Certan 2010

HED60736 75cl 14.5%
Vieux Château Certan 2010 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Situated in the prestigious Pomerol appellation, Vieux Château Certan covers approximately 14 hectares and is one of the largest single-block sites on the Right Bank. Recognised as one of the finest wines in the region, its Grand Vin is often highly scored by influential wine critics. "The 2010 Vieux Château Certan is deep garnet in colour, and—POW—the nose opens as a complete spice-bomb, featuring notes of fenugreek, cumin seed and cinnamon stick over a core of Black Forest cake, plum preserves and blueberry pie with hints of fragrant earth and crushed stones. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it is laden with layers of black and blue fruit preserves, framed by super plush tannins, finishing epically long and perfumed." 100 points, Wine Advocate, 2020

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.
