2nd Wine of Vieux Chateau Certan Pomerol
James Suckling 93/100
This is really delicious now with chocolate, tobacco, spice, and cedar. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a delicious finish. Pure. Easy, yet complex. Second wine of Vieux Château Certan. Drink now. Enjoy!

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 50% new barrels, the 2017 La Gravette De Certan is a smoking second wine from unquestionably one of the top estates in Pomerol. Loaded with notions of dark, chocolatey fruits, leafy herbs, and violets, it has more richness and depth on the palate than most estates’ top wine. Medium to full-bodied and textured, with sweet tannins, it's well worth seeking out and will evolve for two decades.
