Vieux ChÂteau Certan Pomerol, 1999

Vieux Château Certan 1999 is a beautifully poised Pomerol from one of Bordeaux’s most respected estates, offering the depth and finesse that have made the château a benchmark on the Right Bank. This vintage captures the charm of mature Pomerol at its best: silky, layered, and marked by the estate’s signature elegance and balance.

Tasting Notes
With age, the wine typically shows a deep garnet core softening toward brick at the rim. The nose is refined and complex, unfolding with aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, truffle, cedar, tobacco leaf, and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, it is plush yet composed, with polished tannins, supple dark fruit, and savory undertones that speak to its maturity. The 1999 vintage should now be in a graceful drinking window, though well-stored bottles may continue to evolve further, gaining more tertiary complexity over time.

Production
Vieux Château Certan is located in the heart of Pomerol, where gravel, clay, and iron-rich soils contribute to wines of depth, structure, and aromatic nuance. The estate has long been associated with meticulous vineyard work and careful grape selection, with production traditionally focused on preserving purity and finesse through thoughtful vinification and élevage.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, lamb, beef tenderloin, game birds, or dishes featuring mushrooms and truffles. Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if the bottle shows signs of sediment or needs time to open after storage.

Producer
Vieux Château Certan is one of Pomerol’s historic estates and has earned a strong reputation for producing some of the appellation’s most elegant and ageworthy wines. Its long-standing prominence on the Right Bank reflects both the quality of its terroir and the estate’s consistent commitment to precision and balance.
