Vieux Chateau Certan - Pomerol

Das Vieux Chateau Certan ist das älteste bekannteste Weingut in Pomerol. Seine Gründung geht bis in das 16. Jahrhundert zurück, als sich die schottische Familie Demay hier niederliess. Es wurde 1924 von George Thienpont, einem Weinhändler aus Etikhove in Belgien, gekauft und wird seit 1957 von der Societe civile ( GbR) seiner Erben verwaltet.
Die zusammenhängenden Weinberge von Vieux Chateau Certan liegen in der Mitte des Plateau von Pomerol, das weltweit für seine grossen Weine berühmt ist. Der für Pomerol sehr hohe Anteil an Cabernet Franc und Cabernet Sauvignon ist absolut aussergewöhnlich. Er wurde traditionsgemäss beibehalten, obgleich sich die anderen Weingüter für einen fast ausschliesslichen Anbau von Merlot enschieden haben, der in den ersten Jahren der Reifung schmeichelndere Weine erzeugt. Wie die grössten Medoc Weine benötigt der Vieux Chateau Certan zehn bis fünfzehn Jahre, bis er seine unnachahmliche Finesse, seine Eleganz und seine Rasse erreicht. Er wird ausschliesslich über die Weinmakler und -händler des Handelsplatzes Bordeaux verkauft und von ihnen in der ganzen Welt vertrieben.

James Suckling bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

The blackberries. blueberries. oyster shell and violets are so mesmerizing. Full-bodied. focused and deep. It takes you to another space and plane. Dried flowers and dark fruit. The tannins are perfectly crafted. Keeps going as you taste it. Drink in 2023 but why wait?

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2015 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2015 Vieux Château Certan is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel. Rich. sumptuous and explosive in the glass. the 2015 is pure class. The flavors are deep and boldly sketched in this sumptuous. spectacularly ripe Pomerol. Inky blue/purplish fruit. spice. lavender. licorice and menthol all develop in the glass. but it is the wine's textural richness and intensity that stand out most. As good as the 2015 is today. it is going to need at least 15-20 years to be at its very best. Is there anything more I can ask of the 2015? No. there is not. This is a tremendous showing.

Flaschenbewertung von Neal Martin 28.02.2018

The 2015 Vieux Chateau Certan was bottled in mid-May as usual. This was one of the wines of the vintage out of barrel. and now it has a compelling bouquet with blackberry. smoke and iris. There is wonderful delineation here. a cerebral bouquet that is quite mercurial in the glass. traces of black truffle emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and just a killer line of acidity. a Vieux Chateau Certan surfeit with energy and joie de vivre. It fans out in glorious. almost swaggering fashion with truffle and white pepper. a touch of truffle on the persistent finish. This is clearly destined to be one among the canon of legendary wines from the estate although it does deserve requisite cellaring. This is one of the wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2025 - 2055.

I was able to taste both the 2015 and 2016 grand vins, and these are heavenly, magical wines that could not be any better. Starting with the 2015 Vieux Château Certan, it shows the opulent, flamboyant style of the vintage to a T and reveals a saturated purple/ruby color, a monster bouquet of blackberries, tobacco, kirsch, dried spices, and loamy earth, full-bodied richness, sweet tannins, and a finish that won’t quit. A thrill a minute, wine doesn’t get any better, and I only wish every reader could taste this beauty. Drink it any time over the coming 30 years or more.

Expressive and alluring aromas of warm plum reduction and boysenberry puree lead off here. followed by fleshy. seamlessly layered notes of blackberry. black currant. melted black licorice and smoldering tobacco. Shows a lovely tug of dark earth through the finish without sacrificing a sense of polish or giving ground to the waves of fruit. Displays terrific latent energy through the finish. Best from 2023 through 2040. 3.750 cases made. JM im März 2018

Vieux Chateau Certan 2017 Pomerol

Possibly the wine of the vintage,

The 2017 Vieux Chateau Certan is a blend of 81% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from the highest point on the Pomerol plateau. Deep purple, with a heavenly bouquet of creme de cassis, blueberries, scorched earth, crushed violets, tobacco, and earth, this beauty is full-bodied, has incredible depth of fruit, ripe, present tannins, integrated acidity, and a great finish. This estate has been on fire of late, and this is undoubtedly a worthy follow-on to the otherworldly 2015 and 2016. It has the depth of fruit and texture to offer pleasure even today, yet a solid 7-8 years of cellaring are warranted, and it should be long-lived. Bravo!

Lisa Perrotti Brown im März 2020:

Composed of 80% Merlot. 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. the 2017 Vieux Château Certan sports a deep garnet-purple color. No mincing about. the bouquet absolutely prances out of the glass with stunning scents of candied violets. chocolate-covered cherries. roses and eucalyptus over a core of black plum preserves. mulberries. black raspberries and blueberry pie plus wafts of licorice. iron ore and truffles. Medium to full-bodied. the palate has fantastic balance and expression. with very fine-grained. silt-like tannins and well-knit freshness. finishing with epic length and perfume.

James Suckling bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2017 Pomerol im Dezember 2019:

The purity and complexity is so mesmerizing for 2017. Raspberries and black fruit with sweet-tobacco and blood-orange undertones. Medium to full body. The tannins are so polished and pure and push out the edges on the wine. Fresh and pretty. Deep. Needs two or three years to perfect it. Try after 2023.

James Molesworth bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2017 in der März Ausgabe 2020 wie folgt:

This delivers a terrific rush of raspberry ganache and steeped plum fruit that holds center stage throughout. flanked by singed apple wood and dried anise notes and backed on the finish by hints of Lapsang souchong tea. warm fruitcake and mineral. A step ahead of the pack in this vintage. Merlot. Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2040.
3.666 cases made.— J.M

Antonio Galloni im März 2020:

Just as it was en primeur. the 2017 Vieux Château Certan is regal and soaring right out of the glass. Inky blue and purplish fruit. chocolate. licorice. lavender. spice and mint come together in a dense. dark and powerful Pomerol. The 2017 is an explosive. vivid wine of monastic beauty. In this vintage. VCC is especially dark and somber. which adds to a real feeling of mysterious beauty. It is a towering achievement from Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont.

Vieux Chateau Certan 2020 Pomerol

Wir haben die 2020er Kampagne nun geschlossen.

Für das entgegengebrachte Interesse möchten wir uns bedanken.

Wir bieten in den nächsten Wochen den 2019er Jahrgang in der Arrivage an.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Vieux Chateau Certan 2020 Pomerol :

The 2020 Vieux Château Certan is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, picked on the 14th to the 24th of September for the Merlot, then on the 28th and 29th of September for the Cabernet Franc. The pH is 3.77 and the alcohol is 14.5%. Deep purple-black colored, it needs considerable coaxing, swirling and a lot of patience before it finally lets rip an intoxicating perfume of ripe, juicy black plums, Morello cherries, candied violets, black truffles and crushed rocks, giving way to hints of black tea, molten licorice and Sichuan pepper, plus a waft of dusty red soil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers achingly ripe, silt-like tannins and shimmering freshness that melds with the black fruits and earthy layers with jaw-dropping seamlessness, finishing with layer upon layer of mineral and savory suggestions and, finally, a gorgeous floral whisper. There are going to be two ways to approach this: 1) Just let the remarkably sensual, inexplicable beauty of it wash over you or 2) Try to unravel all those intricate layers and have it blow you mind. Either way, this is simply an incredible achievement—bravo Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont!

98-99 Suckling-Punkte für denVieux Chateau Certan 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Vieux Chateau Certan 2020 Pomerol Folgendes:

Extraordinary clarity and brilliance on the nose with ink and iodine, blackberry and blueberry. Really perfumed already. Full-bodied with fine tannins and superb depth and length. I love the complexity and the great texture. Energetic finish.

96-98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Vieux Chateau Certan 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Vieux Chateau Certan:

The 2020 Vieux Château Certain is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc (no Cabernet Sauvignon this year). Drought retarded vigor, particularly with respect to the older vines, and picking was carried out September 14–24 for the Merlot and September 28–29 for the Cabernet Franc. Examined over a couple of hours, it delivers intense and quite opulent black cherries, blueberry and shavings of black truffle and iodine, becoming increasingly floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive structure and bags of freshness. There is plenty of sappy black fruit, lip-smacking underlying salinity and a finish that is a doppelganger for Lafleur (despite containing less Cabernet Franc). A gorgeous VCC that exudes both density and refinement.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 97-99 Punkten bewertet

Strahlende Frischfrucht, Waldbeeren, pfeffrige Töne, beeindruckend klar, nuanciert und intensiv. Perfekt reifer Cabernet franc. Im Mund ultraseidige Gerbstoffe, cremig eingebunden, kultivierte, perfekt integrierte Säure, die Extraktspannung wird saftig aufgelöst. Der ganze Wein ist fein und intensiv in einem, mineralisch grundiert, mit integriertem Alkohol, Ein Wein mit Dichte und Druck, aber komplett auf Finesse angelegt, sehr lang.

James Suckling bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

This is a significant VCC with masses of fruit and juicy tannins. It’s fresh. but impresses you with the rich and powerful fruit. A tower of a wine. Incredible depth and density. Thick and muscular. It is 30 per cent cabernet franc. the rest merlot.

97-100 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2018 Vieux Château Certan is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Yields were 40 hectoliters per hectare. The wine has a pH of 3.78. 14.4% alcohol and an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 77. Medium to deep garnet-purple—it has a very vibrant color—it drifts effortlessly out of the glass with wonderfully intense. beautifully delineated scents of red roses. black raspberries. kirsch and Darjeeling tea before the powerful. profound black fruits kick in: baked plums. wild blueberries. molten licorice and mulberries with touches of cigar box. cinnamon stick. tapenade and truffles. Full-bodied. rich. densely packed and revealing layer upon layer of red and black fruits with an incredible array of floral and spicy sparks. it has a high level of super ripe. incredibly fine. velvety soft tannins and fantastic freshness (not just from acid but from bright. crunchy fruit). It finishes very long. marvelously layered and with such jaw-dropping brightness from the fruit. the end is almost electric. Incredible.

94-97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2018 Vieux Château Certan is a very pretty wine built more on elegance. finesse and aromatic nuance. Relative to the recent past. the 2018 shows a much more mid-weight structure and less of the creaminess of either 2015 or 2016. Much of that is attributable to a blend that includes 30% Cabernet Franc. Lavender. rose petal. mint and blueberry fruit all grace the 2018. Far from an obvious wine. the 2018 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. as it is a wine of total understatement and class. Fine beads of tannin support the understated finish. In 2018. VCC is a wine of refinement and subtlety more than anything else. I don't see the same visceral thrill as in a number of vintages of the recent past. Perhaps that will come in bottle.

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:
Cuvee:70 Merlot / 30Cabernet Sauvignon Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 19. September und 9. October Alkoholgehalt: 14.40 Vol.% Ein Merlot Year. der Cabernet Franc hatte perfekte Vorraussetzungen bis zum Ende zu reifen. Dichte und kompakte Farbe mit einem undurchsichtigen Kern. Der Duft ist sehr komplex. reife Schwarzkirsche. Brombeere. Holunder und eine unverkennbare Cabernetwürze. kombiniert mit diese tiefgründigen mineralisch kühlen Minznuance. Im Mund ist der Wein ein wahres Gedicht. so balanciert. frische. sanft und doch zupackend. in jedem Moment mit neuen Aromeneindrücken. das Finale ist so pur. so definiert. Ein schier nicht enden wollende Nachhall. Alexandre Thiempont beschreibt ihn als einen intellektuellen und komplexen Jahrgang. wie es für Ihn der 1945er ist. und vergibt ihm 98-100 Punkte.
