2018 Vieux Chateau Certan, Pomerol - Magnum

Individual Original Wood Magnum Cases

Vieux Château Certan is one of the most historic estates in the Pomerol appellation, owned by the Thienpont family since 1924 and known for a vineyard that has been documented on regional maps since 1745. The vines are rooted in the plateau's signature clay and gravel soils, with a high concentration of old-vine plants that serve as the foundation for this blend made from 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. In the glass, the wine offers deep layers of black cherry, plum, and subtle truffle, possessing a full-bodied texture with refined, structured tannins. The 2018 vintage provided a hot, dry summer that resulted in high fruit concentration and a powerful, dense character balanced by a notable sense of freshness. This magnum is built for significant time in the cellar, making it a serious addition for those looking to track the wine's evolution over the next several decades.
