Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 La Gravette de Certan leaps from the glass with exuberant scents of blueberry preserves, blackberry compote and black cherries with hints of violets, menthol, chocolate box and aniseed. Medium-bodied, the palate has a generous amount of expressive blue and black fruit flavors, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.

Vieux Chateau Certan is a renowned wine producer located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. The estate has a long and rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was owned by the Demay family. In the 18th century, it was acquired by the De May family, who gave the estate its current name. Today, Vieux Chateau Certan is owned by the Thienpont family, who have been producing exceptional wines since 1921.

The vineyards of Vieux Chateau Certan cover 14 hectares and are planted with a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The soil is a mix of gravel, clay, and sand, which provides excellent drainage and allows the vines to produce grapes of exceptional quality. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted to ensure only the best fruit is used in the winemaking process.

The winemaking process at Vieux Chateau Certan is a traditional one, with a focus on producing wines that reflect the terroir of the estate. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before being aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months. The oak barrels used are a mix of new and old, which allows the wine to develop complexity and depth of flavor.

The wines produced by Vieux Chateau Certan are known for their elegance, finesse, and complexity. They are rich and full-bodied, with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine. The wines have a long and lingering finish, which is a testament to the quality of the grapes and the winemaking process.

Vieux Chateau Certan produces two main wines, the Grand Vin and the second wine, La Gravette de Certan. The Grand Vin is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, with the exact blend varying depending on the vintage. It is a wine that can be enjoyed young, but also has the potential to age for decades. La Gravette de Certan is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and is a more approachable wine that can be enjoyed in its youth.

In conclusion, Vieux Chateau Certan is a producer of exceptional wines that are a true reflection of the terroir of the Pomerol appellation. The estate has a long and rich history, and the Thienpont family continues to produce wines of exceptional quality. The wines are elegant, complex, and full-bodied, with a long and lingering finish.

Bordeaux, dans le sud-ouest de la France, est l'une des régions viticoles les plus célèbres, les plus prestigieuses et les plus prolifiques du monde. La majorité des vins de Bordeaux (près de 90 % du volume de production) sont des vins rouges secs, mi-corsés et corsés qui ont fait la réputation de la région.

Les vins les plus fins (et les plus chers) sont ceux des grands châteaux du Haut-Médoc et des appellations de la rive droite, Saint-Émilion et Pomerol. Les premiers sont axés (au plus haut niveau) sur le cabernet sauvignon, les seconds sur le merlot.

Les rouges légendaires sont complétés par des vins blancs de grande qualité à base de sémillon et de sauvignon blanc. Ces vins vont des blancs secs, qui rivalisent avec les meilleurs vins de la région de Bourgogne (Pessac-Léognan est particulièrement réputé), aux nectars sucrés et botrytisés de Sauternes.

Pomerol is a small wine appellation located in the Bordeaux region of France. It is known for producing some of the most sought-after wines in the world, particularly its red wines made from the Merlot grape.

The history of Pomerol dates back to the Roman era, when the area was known for its fertile soils and ideal climate for grape growing. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that Pomerol began to gain recognition for its wines. In 1855, Pomerol was not included in the famous Bordeaux Wine Official Classification, which was a list of the best wines in the region. This was largely due to the fact that Pomerol was a relatively unknown appellation at the time. However, this did not deter the winemakers of Pomerol, who continued to produce exceptional wines that would eventually gain worldwide recognition.

The style of production in Pomerol is unique compared to other wine regions in Bordeaux. The vineyards are relatively small, with many of them being family-owned and operated. The winemakers in Pomerol focus on producing high-quality wines that are reflective of the terroir, or the unique characteristics of the soil and climate in the region. The Merlot grape is the dominant variety grown in Pomerol, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon also being grown.

The typical wines from Pomerol are red wines that are rich, full-bodied, and complex. They are known for their deep, dark color and intense aromas of black fruit, such as blackberry and black cherry. On the palate, Pomerol wines are often described as having a velvety texture, with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. The tannins in Pomerol wines are typically soft and well-integrated, making them approachable even when young.

Some of the most famous wines from Pomerol include Château Pétrus, Château Lafleur, and Château Le Pin. These wines are highly sought-after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world, and can command prices that are among the highest in the wine industry.

In conclusion, Pomerol is a unique and special wine appellation that produces some of the most exceptional wines in the world. Its history, style of production, and the grapes grown there all contribute to the distinctive character of Pomerol wines. If you are a fan of red wine, particularly Merlot, then Pomerol is definitely an appellation to explore.
