Vieux ChÂteau Certan° Pomerol, 2022

Vieux Château Certan is one of Pomerol’s most admired estates, known for producing wines of remarkable finesse, depth, and longevity. The 2022 vintage from Bordeaux’s Right Bank continues that tradition, offering the kind of precision and elegance that has made the château a benchmark for serious collectors.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep, concentrated ruby-purple colour in youth. On the nose, expect a layered bouquet of dark berries, plum, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, often with the signature earthy complexity that Pomerol is celebrated for. On the palate, Vieux Château Certan is usually silky and beautifully balanced, combining ripe black fruit with refined tannins, fresh acidity, and mineral detail. The 2022 vintage should have excellent ageing potential, with the structure and concentration to develop gracefully over many years, gaining even more complexity and harmony in bottle.

Production
Located on Pomerol’s gravel and clay-rich plateau, Vieux Château Certan benefits from a terroir that encourages both ripeness and elegance. The vineyard is known for its meticulous attention to detail, with harvesting typically carried out by hand and grapes selected carefully to preserve purity and precision. Vinification is traditionally aimed at expressing the character of the estate and the vintage, with careful extraction and élevage designed to retain balance, texture, and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal wine for rich dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle risotto, or game birds. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to खुल fully and show its aromatic range.

Long admired by critics and enthusiasts alike, the estate has played an important role in shaping Pomerol’s international prestige and remains one of the region’s standout producers.
