A blend of \u003cstrong data-start=\"174\" data-end=\"211\"\u003e85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/strong\u003e, it showcases remarkable depth, precision, and elegance. The nose is intensely fragrant, revealing layers of dark cherry, blackberry, violet, and delicate truffle notes. On the palate, the wine is rich yet beautifully balanced, with a velvety texture, refined tannins, and remarkable freshness. The finish is long, complex, and harmonious, reflecting both the power and finesse of this historic estate. Built for long ageing, it has the structure and balance to evolve gracefully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore About The \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWinery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"111\" data-end=\"399\"\u003eLocated in the heart of Pomerol, Vieux Château Certan is one of Bordeaux’s most discreet yet revered estates. Its history dates back to the 18th century, but its modern identity has been shaped by the Thienpont family, who have elevated the domaine to the very pinnacle of the Right Bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"759\"\u003eThe vineyard sits on one of the finest terroirs of Pomerol, a mosaic of \u003cstrong data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"510\"\u003egravel, clay, and iron-rich soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, shared with some of the region’s most iconic neighbours. This unique composition allows for a perfect expression of both \u003cstrong data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"662\"\u003eMerlot and Cabernet Franc\u003c\/strong\u003e, the latter playing a defining role in the wine’s structure, freshness, and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003eThe style of Vieux Château Certan is the embodiment of balance and precision.

Aromatically, the wine reveals layers of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1058\"\u003edark cherry, plum, violet, graphite, and subtle spice\u003c\/strong\u003e, evolving gracefully with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1337\"\u003eWhat sets Vieux Château Certan apart is its quiet consistency.
