VieuxChâteauCertan,Pomerol2023EnPrimeur–Caseof6

There’s something about VCC. You taste in the calm and tranquility of the chai, only the quiet voice of Alexandre Thienpont breaking the silence, describing a wine that is invariably awesome. Thus it is was again in 2023. Alexandre describes it as classic in the true sense of what Pomerol should produce. The Merlot is perfect, but enhanced by the addition of Cabernet Franc to give an extra dimension. There is sweet ripeness, density, texture, length all in perfect harmony. You leave, quietly, in awe at what you are still tasting. It is a profound experience and you reflect, yet again, that you have enjoyed one of the wines of the vintage. 5-15+ years.
