Vieux Chateau Certan 2019: Elegant & Profound Right Bank Benchmark

Vieux Chateau Certan 2019 is a majestic and finely detailed expression from one of the most revered estates in Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Located in the heart of Pomerol, this historic property—owned by the Thienpont family—has earned a reputation for crafting wines of purity, balance, and extraordinary finesse. The 2019 vintage, considered exceptional across Bordeaux, highlights the estate’s dedication to precision and its rare mosaic of clay and gravel soils. The wine is predominantly Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon.

On the nose, Vieux Chateau Certan 2019 offers a symphony of aromas: ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum, seamlessly woven with floral notes of violet, fresh tobacco, truffle, and fine spice. The palate is full-bodied and graceful, showcasing a silky texture and deep layers of dark fruit, graphite, and savory earth. Ripe, polished tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure and poise, leading to a long, resonant finish that echoes the wine’s elegance and aging potential.

This wine pairs exquisitely with refined dishes such as roast veal, duck breast with blackcurrant reduction, wild mushroom ragout, or aged cheeses like Morbier or Tomme de Savoie—dishes that elevate the wine’s nuance and sophistication.
