Vieux ChÂteau Certan Pomerol, 2023

Vieux Château Certan is one of Pomerol’s most respected estates, known for producing elegant, age-worthy Bordeaux with remarkable depth and finesse. The 2023 vintage continues the château’s long tradition of crafting refined Merlot-based wines with the signature balance and complexity that have made the property a benchmark in the appellation.

Tasting Notes
Expect a wine of deep color and polished structure, with the concentration and freshness that define top Pomerol in a strong vintage. Aromas typically unfold in layers of dark plum, blackberry, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, while the palate is usually silky and precise, with ripe black fruit, fine tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Vieux Château Certan is prized for its ability to evolve beautifully in bottle, gaining nuance and aromatic complexity over time. While approachable in youth with proper decanting, it should reward cellar time exceptionally well, developing secondary notes of truffle, tobacco, and earthy sophistication.

Production
Located on Pomerol’s gravel and clay-rich plateau, Vieux Château Certan benefits from a terroir that naturally brings both power and finesse to the wine. The estate is known for careful vineyard work and selective harvesting, with vinification focused on preserving purity of fruit, aromatic detail, and texture while respecting the character of the vintage.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for refined dishes such as roast lamb, filet of beef, duck breast, or truffle-infused mushroom preparations. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours when drinking young to allow the wine to fully open.

Producer
Vieux Château Certan is a historic Pomerol estate with deep roots in Bordeaux, long regarded as one of the appellation’s reference producers. Built on a reputation for consistency, elegance, and precision, the château has earned acclaim from collectors and critics alike for wines that combine classic structure with exceptional aging potential.
