In a few words ...
Vieux Chateau Certan covers 14 hectares planted with 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. This blend is atypical of the appellation. Chateau la gravette de certan is the second wine of the old chateau certan. These highly aromatic Pomerols combine roundness and suppleness with real power, making them ideal for laying down and drinking young.
