Descrizione

Vieux Château Certan 2021 expresses the balance and concentration typical of a well-made Pomerol. In the glass it shows a deep ruby color; on the nose it opens to a varied aromatic profile with ripe red and dark fruits, subtle spicy hints and a light mineral note that accompanies the overall bouquet. On the palate it displays balanced structure, fine tannic texture, good juiciness and a persistence that invites another sip. Overall it offers precision and depth without excess.

It pairs with red meats, braised dishes and game, as well as hard cheeses; it is advisable to open the bottle and, if needed, decant to soften its expression in the first tastings. It is suitable both for immediate enjoyment and for short-term cellar ageing, according to personal preference. Ideal for special occasions or for those seeking a reference Pomerol for their wine list.

Winery history

Wine region with ancient roots: vineyards have been present since Roman times, with significant development in the Middle Ages through the activity of local religious orders. Pomerol's modern reputation was consolidated between the 19th and 20th centuries; the area has been recognized as a distinct appellation and is included in the AOC regulations established in France.

Production philosophy

Production centered on terroir and on enhancing small parcels: many producers run relatively small estates, favoring practices that prioritize grape quality and the expression of the soil rather than high yields or formal classifications.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the Libournais near the River Isle, Pomerol is a plateau with heterogeneous soils: clays mixed with gravel and sand, and a subsoil rich in iron oxides. Its boundaries include the Barbanne stream to the north, and it lies adjacent to Saint-Émilion and Libourne.
