Vieux ChÂteau Certan Pomerol, 2023

Vieux Château Certan is one of Pomerol’s most revered estates, and the 2023 vintage continues that tradition with class, depth, and remarkable precision. Sourced from one of Bordeaux’s most coveted right-bank terroirs, it offers the kind of refinement and complexity that has made this château a benchmark for collectors for generations.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep, saturated ruby color with impressive brilliance in youth. Aromas tend to unfold slowly, revealing black cherry, plum, violet, cedar, pencil lead, and subtle earthy notes, with the 2023 vintage likely emphasizing freshness and aromatic lift. On the palate, expect a polished, layered structure with fine tannins, supple texture, and excellent balance between ripe dark fruit, savory nuance, and mineral tension. Vieux Château Certan is known for its ability to age gracefully, and the 2023 should have strong long-term cellaring potential, developing additional complexity over many years.

Production
Vieux Château Certan comes from a distinguished Pomerol terroir characterized by gravel, clay, and iron-rich soils that lend both elegance and structure to the wine. The estate is known for careful vineyard management and selective harvesting, with vinification aimed at preserving purity of fruit, finesse, and the signature silky texture of the appellation.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for fine dishes such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle-infused dishes, or game birds. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended when opening young to allow the wine to fully express its aromas and texture.

Producer

The estate has long been admired by Bordeaux enthusiasts for its consistency, finesse, and exceptional terroir expression, earning a place among the top producers on the Right Bank.
