2010 Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol
2010 Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol
Ref: BORD10149
Slap bang in that golden triangle of clay soils that encompasses the vineyards of such luminary properties as Cheval Blanc, Evangile and Petrus, VCC exudes that confidence of a property producing a wine greater than its commune. For above all, this is VCC, a fact that occludes its Pomerol origins. Owner Alexandre Thienpont is a softly spoken man whose seeming shyness belies the authority within the wine itself. One of the greatest wines of Bordeaux, without doubt.

Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Vieux Château Certan is deep garnet in color, and—POW—the nose opens as a complete spice-bomb, featuring notes of fenugreek, cumin seed and cinnamon stick over a core of Black Forest cake, plum preserves and blueberry pie with hints of fragrant earth and crushed stones. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it is laden with layers of black and blue fruit preserves, framed by super plush tannins, finishing epically long and perfumed." Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained
Sweetness
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
