Over het wijnhuis | Vieux Château Certan is een van de oudste en beroemdste châteaux van Pomerol. Het is gevestigd in het hart van het beroemde Pomerol-plateau en ligt op steenworp afstand van Le Pin en Petrus. Het werd in 1924 overgenomen door de Belgische ondernemer, Georges Thienpont, die château naar een hoger niveau tilde. |

Awards | "The 2020 La Gravette de Certan is broad and demonstrative, bursting with aromas of cherries, dark berries, licorice, cedar and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, it's a layered, textural Gravette, with ripe tannins, lively acids and an expansive finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Wow. What a second wine with berries, chocolate, and coffee beans. Black berries. Full and layered with such incredible length and intensity. The real deal. Hard not to drink now but will age beautifully. Try after 2029." - James Suckling "The 2020 Gravette de Certan is quite unusual this year in that the blend includes 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the Gravette a distinctly Left Bank-leaning profile of cassis, graphite, lavender and dried herbs. Pliant and creamy, with notable depth, the Gravette is fabulous, even if it is unlike any Gravette I have tasted before. It’s a stunning, very serious wine that is frankly better than many Grand Vins. A very pretty, exotic, blood orange-like note brightness the finish beautifully. The 2020 is an insanely great Gravette.' - Vinous "Produced from young vines, this second wine is juicy, perfumed with a dominance of Merlot. Its balance is just right, ripe and juicy, with acidity and structure in all the right places. The black fruits show sweetness as well as richness. Drink the wine from 2026." - Wine Enthusiast "Blackcurrant and milk chocolate on the nose, fresh, bright and vibrant with a lovely fragrance. Silky smooth, juicy and clean but dense too, this has weight on the palate with the Cabernet giving it a spiced backbone. Chiseled and expansive with ripe, concentrated red cherries, blueberries and blackcurrants. Immediately quite appealing yet it has a serious edge with liquorice and dark chocolate on the finish. A really complete and satisfying wine that feels well made with lovely Pomerol typicity." - Decanter |
