What you will taste

Vieux Château Certan is the oldest estate of Pomerol, recognisable across any cellar by its pink capsule, and the Thienpont family makes wine here that collectors mention in the same breath as its mythical neighbour. The 2018: deep plum and cherry lifted by violets, tobacco fine as parchment, Cabernet Franc keeping everything fresh and long. Old nobility, current brilliance.

The sommelier’s note

«Decant 45 minutes, serve at 17 degrees. Note the freshness at the end: that is the Franc signing its work.»
