"An extraordinary vintage rated 100/100!

"An extraordinary effort, the wine is almost opaque in color. Its bewitching perfume offers a bouquet of flowers, black, red and blue fruits, chocolate, spices, espresso and truffles. Incredibly concentrated, yet equally light, the wine is effortless to drink. With polished, velvety textures and fruits that express purity, combined with spices, chocolate, damp earth and sensuality. The finish crosses the 60-second mark and never stops! It's a youthful look at one of Vieux Château Certan's legendary future vintages. If this is your thing, and if you can afford it, buy it now because prices will only go up from here."

second wine

"At Vieux Château Certan, every plot has the potential to become a great wine. For example, there are no parcels dedicated to the second wine, while Gravette is made up mainly of the property's young vines. The bouquet has nuances of cherry and spice. Silky in character, the wine reveals itself slowly, displaying its power with delicacy and precision. What a superb level... and it's 'just' the second wine!" (Yves Beck 2021) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).
