Description

Vieux Chateau Certan, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France, 2001

Grapes: 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, 14ha vineyard on clay & gravel soils, 50 year average vine age, matured 14 months in new oak barrels

The chateau, owned by Alexandre Thienpont, is a close neighbour to both La Conseillante & Petrus, and is considered one of Pomerol's finest properties.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"A brilliant effort from Alexandre Thienpont, this blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc is a deep purple-colored, fleshy, layered effort offering a sweet nose of creosote, incense, Christmas spices, plenty of red and black fruits, and hints of licorice as well as new oak. Rich, medium to full-bodied, with tremendous purity in addition to nobility, give it two more years of cellaring and drink it over the next following 15-18 years."

93/100 points, Robert M. Parker Jr., WINE ADVOCATE, June 2004

"45 minutes of air really brought out the floral, truffle and cherry elements. Medium/full bodied, soft, elegant and with loads of fresh, sweet, ripe, earthy fruits, this is still quite the charmer."

93/100 points, Jeff Leve, THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER, May 2017
