Château Vieux Château Certan

Pomerol 2010

While the estate vineyard is planted to 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon the 2010 wine has drawn together 86% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, resulting in a wine of deep concentration, opulence and finessed liquid structure that cries out for a further decade cellaring, but offers potential for long haul maturation. The estate is located in the centre of Pomerol and set over 14 hectares of land in a single block. Viticulture is hands-on and detailed, while winemaking sees 100% oak and extended (18 to 22 months) elevage to create this superb wine.
