Vieux Château Certan 2020 is a grand and exceptionally refined red wine from Pomerol, Bordeaux, featuring dark fruit, silky depth, and an aristocratic expression. The vintage appears intense, concentrated, and harmonious, with a rare balance of freshness, body, and elegance, giving the wine both great immediate appeal and significant aging potential.

The aroma offers ripe dark berries, blackcurrant, and plum, complemented by violet, licorice, fine spices, and a discreet earthy hint. The taste is full-bodied and precise with dense, juicy fruit, velvety tannins, and a vibrant freshness, where dark fruit notes, floral nuances, and a cool minerality combine in a long, nuanced, and silky finish.

The wine pairs excellently with beef, veal, lamb, duck, game, as well as braised and grilled dishes – an obvious choice for classic dinners and for those seeking a Pomerol with both depth, finesse, and great development potential.

97 /100

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Vieux Château Certan bursts with aromas of blackberries, sweet spices, rose petals, orange zest, burning embers and violets framed by a deft application of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's rich and layered, with a more broad, unctuous profile than the pure and refined 2019, concluding with a long, resonant finish. This is more immediate out of the gates than the 2019, and I suspect it will not prove quite as long lived, but it is a terrific effort from the Thienpont family. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

98 /100

Bright fresh fruit, wild berries, peppery tones, impressively clear, nuanced and intense. Perfectly ripe Cabernet Franc. On the palate ultra silky tannins, creamy, cultivated, perfectly integrated acidity, any tension is juicily resolved. The whole wine is fine, intense and complete, mineral, with integrated alcohol. A wine with density and drive, but completely designed for finesse, very long.

97 /100

This wine has a surprising amount of Merlot in the blend for the estate. That gives richness and density to a wine that is already structured and stylish. The dense texture promises long-term aging. Drink from 2027.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
