POMEROL 2012 VIEUX CHATEAU CERTAN

€230.00

Bouteille 75 cl

Vieux Château Certan, located in Pomerol, was built in 1745 by the Demay family, who settled there from Scotland. Since 1982, it has been run by the THIENPONT family, Belgian merchants who are also responsible for Château Le Pin. The estate covers 14 hectares in a single block, with no fewer than 23 independently-managed plots, whose soils are made up of a very clayey part, planted with Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This clay soil, made up of gravel and iron crusts from the Pomerol plateau (as with Pétrus), gives it the elegance of the great Médocs.

Your questions, our answers.

Should the 2012 vintage be preferred over Vieux Château Certan 2011?

The information provided does not allow us to distinguish between their styles or how they have evolved. The Parker score of 93 given to the 2012 is not enough to establish a preference between these two vintages.

Can La Gravette de Certan 2014 be chosen instead of this Vieux Château Certan 2012?

These two wines should not be considered interchangeable simply because their names are similar. Without information about their respective tasting profiles, it is not possible to recommend them for the same experience.

Is this wine of interest to someone who appreciates historic estates?

Yes: Vieux Château Certan is one of the oldest châteaux in Pomerol and has belonged to the Thienpont family for over a century. This heritage may guide your choice if you would like to discover an estate with deep historical roots in the appellation.

Does this bottle make it possible to compare different Pomerol estates?

It can be included in a tasting alongside Château La Conseillante or Château L’Évangile, which are also presented as Pomerol wines. The appellation is a common point, but the information provided does not allow us to describe differences in taste.

Is the 75 cl format suitable for a tasting with several people?

It can, for example, provide six 12 cl servings. This is suitable for a comparative tasting, without allowing for a second full pour for everyone.

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.
