La Gravette de Certan 2019 (750ML)

2019 is a ripe, tannic wine with fruit character and amazingly well-preserved acidity. It shows superb balance. The Merlot contributes density, body, smoothness and volume. The little Cabernet Franc that was selected for the First Wine displayed lace-like elegance and was complex, flavorsome and very long on the palate. The Cabernet Sauvignon was lively, delicious, and flavorsome. Vieux Château Certan is one of the oldest known growths in Pomerol. It was founded at the beginning of the 16th century when the Demay family arrived from Scotland to settle there. With a surface area of 35 acres planted in one single block, the Vieux Château Certan vineyard is made up of 23 plots, each of them individually managed according to soil type, grape variety planted, and age of vines.
