Why shop with us?
Vieux Château Certan’s 2023 Pomerol brings the estate’s celebrated, Merlot-led style to an impressive 1.5L magnum. One of Pomerol’s historic properties, the château is prized for wines that combine depth and finesse, with Cabernet varieties adding structure and aromatic lift.
Tasting Notes
No vintage-specific tasting notes are available here. In keeping with the château’s established style, the wine is expected to show ripe dark-fruit character, floral or spice notes and a finely structured palate, with Merlot’s supple texture balanced by the freshness and definition of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Malbec is also listed among the grapes.
Production
Vieux Château Certan is situated on Pomerol’s varied soils, including gravel and clay that contribute to the appellation’s distinctive combination of richness and structure. The exact 2023 blend proportions, harvest details and vinification methods have not been provided, so vintage-specific production information cannot be confirmed.
Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roast lamb, beef, duck or mushroom dishes. A young bottle may benefit from decanting for about an hour; taste first and adjust the time to suit its development. The larger magnum format is well suited to cellaring and often evolves more gradually than a standard bottle.
Producer
Vieux Château Certan is a long-established Pomerol estate, acquired by the Thienpont family in 1924. Its wines are regarded among the appellation’s leading expressions, valued for their balance of Merlot richness and Cabernet-derived aromatic detail.
