Vieux Château Certan: Exceptional Premier Pomerol Wine

Discover Vieux Château Certan

Vieux Château Certan, located in the heart of Pomerol, is one of the most prestigious estates on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Founded in the 18th century, it is renowned for the finesse, depth, and aging potential of its wines, embodying the timeless elegance of this famed appellation.

Terroir and Characteristics

The vineyard thrives on an exceptional terroir of deep clay and fine gravel soils. The estate primarily cultivates Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which together create a perfect balance of richness, elegance, and aromatic complexity. This unique terroir and grape blend define the outstanding quality of Vieux Château Certan wines.

Wine Profile

Vieux Château Certan wines display a deep purple color, with an intense nose combining black fruits, truffle, cocoa, and violet. On the palate, they reveal a silky texture, controlled power, and remarkable precision, finishing with an exceptional length. These full-bodied red wines are true aging masterpieces.

Food Pairings

This wine perfectly complements refined dishes such as spiced duck breast, beef fillet with sauce, a selection of aged cheeses like Brie de Meaux, or black truffle to enhance its aromatic profile.

Your questions, our answers.

Which wines are included in the Vieux Château Certan selection?

What aromatic profile characterizes Vieux Château Certan wines?
The profile described for the estate combines black fruit, truffle, cocoa and violet. On the palate, the wines stand out for their silky texture, restrained power and long finish, although the information provided does not detail the nuances of each vintage.

Is Vieux Château Certan made exclusively from Merlot?
No: Merlot, the dominant grape variety in the estate’s vineyards, is complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The proportions used in the three wines presented are not specified.

Are the 2011 and 2012 Vieux Château Certan suitable for a wine cellar?
The estate is described as producing age-worthy reds, renowned for their depth and longevity. However, no drinking window is provided for the 2011 and 2012 vintages, so it is not possible to determine a cellaring period or assess their current maturity.

Which dishes should you choose to complement Vieux Château Certan’s truffle notes and silky texture?
Beef fillet with sauce or a dish featuring black truffle are among the recommended pairings for the estate’s wines. A well-aged Brie de Meaux is also an option to round off the meal.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
