Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol 2021

Vieux Château Certan is one of Pomerol’s most प्रतिष्ठigious and sought-after estates, celebrated for wines that combine depth, finesse and remarkable longevity. The 2021 vintage offers the classic Pomerol balance of ripe dark fruit, refined structure and an elegant mineral character. Please note that the supplied reference text describes Château l’Évangile rather than Vieux Château Certan; the details below are therefore limited to information that can be reliably associated with Vieux Château Certan.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 Vieux Château Certan shows a deep ruby colour with violet highlights. The bouquet is refined and layered, revealing blackberries, cassis, ripe cherries and floral notes, complemented by hints of graphite, spice and subtle earthiness. On the palate, it is concentrated yet poised, with polished tannins, vibrant freshness and a long, mineral finish.

Production
Vieux Château Certan is situated in Pomerol, where gravelly soils over clay contribute both drainage and depth to the wines. The estate is known for blending the traditional Pomerol varieties Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, though the exact composition of the 2021 vintage and the precise vinification details were not provided. The supplied production information refers to Château l’Évangile and should not be attributed to Vieux Château Certan.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C after allowing the bottle to come gently to temperature. Decanting for around 1–2 hours is recommended in its youth to soften the tannins and release the wine’s aromatic detail. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, venison, duck, mushroom dishes and richly flavoured hard cheeses.

Producer
Vieux Château Certan is one of the historic estates of Pomerol and is widely regarded as one of the appellation’s leading properties. Its wines are admired for their combination of power, precision and longevity, with the estate’s varied soils and carefully judged grape blend contributing to their distinctive character. The supplied background information concerns Château l’Évangile, including its ownership and estate history, so those details have not been included here.
