VIEUX CHÂTEAU CERTAN 2025 – Pomerol: 98–99 pts

Vieux Château Certan is among the most prestigious and historic estates of Pomerol. Located on the central plateau of the appellation, the vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir composed of deep clay, gravel, and iron-rich sands, giving the wines remarkable depth and complexity.

The 2025 vintage stands out for its precision of expression and superb aromatic intensity. The nose reveals refined aromas of ripe black fruits, plum, and black cherry, complemented by floral notes of violet, gentle spices, and subtle hints of truffle and graphite.

On the palate, the structure is both ample and highly refined. The tannins are silky and perfectly integrated, supporting a rich yet elegant body. The balance between restrained power, freshness, and aromatic depth is remarkable.

The finish is long, harmonious, and highly pure, perfectly reflecting the classic and timeless style of Vieux Château Certan. The 2025 vintage follows in the lineage of the greatest Pomerol wines, combining refinement, complexity, and exceptional ageing potential.
