Vieux Château Certan 2015 is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the Pomerol appellation. This vintage is a blend of 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the high proportion of old-vine Merlot that thrived in 2015. On the nose it reveals an elegant perfume of black cherries, violets, dark chocolate and a hint of truffle. The palate is full-bodied and seamless with silken tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides perfect poise. It displays a layered complexity of plums and liquorice leading into a long mineral finish.
