Descrizione

Vieux Château Certan 2022 comes from Pomerol and shows a deep ruby color. On the nose it offers impressions of ripe fruit, slight spicy notes and a discreet tertiary component that develops with aeration. On the palate it is concentrated yet balanced: the acidity supports the profile and the present, well-integrated tannins contribute to a harmonious structure. The finish is persistent and clean, leaving fruity impressions and a subtle mineral note. The overall profile suggests a wine with good substance, suitable for drinking now or after a few years of bottle aging.

It is recommended to serve it at around 16–18 °C in large glasses to encourage aromatic opening. It pairs with grilled red meats, mushroom dishes and aged cheeses, but also stands up to more complex preparations thanks to its structure. For those wishing to cellar it, a cool, stable cellar will favor its evolution; for immediate tasting, opening the bottle about an hour beforehand helps to reveal broader aromas.

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.
