Vieux Château Certan, a historic estate in the Pomerol appellation, is renowned for its meticulous winemaking process. The vineyard is managed with sustainable viticulture practices to ensure the health of the vines. It is planted with a harmonious blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. During the harvest, grapes are carefully handpicked to select only the ripest fruit.
In the winery, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, allowing for precise control over flavor and aroma development. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with 50-70% new oak, which adds subtle complexity and enhances the structure of the wine. These steps, overseen by the Thienpont family, result in wines with rich, layered flavors and a perfect balance of power and elegance.
With a legacy of producing some of the finest Bordeaux wines, Vieux Château Certan continues to captivate wine enthusiasts worldwide with its dedication to quality and tradition.
