Viniou Reviews

Château Vieux Certan 2011 is a distinguished red wine from the esteemed Pomerol appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. Known for its elegance and depth, this wine is crafted primarily from Merlot grapes, which thrive in the Pomerol terroir, often complemented by small amounts of Cabernet Franc and sometimes Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 vintage is characterised by a juicy, round profile with notable concentration, resulting from a particularly dry growing season followed by well-timed rains that helped balance and mature the fruit. The precision in vinification at Château Vieux Certan ensures that each vintage expresses the unique characteristics of its terroir, with an emphasis on enhancing the natural flavour and structure of the wine through careful selection and maturation.

Pomerol, located on the right bank of the Dordogne River, is renowned for its gravelly and clay-dominated soil, which is optimal for cultivating Merlot. This area is considered one of the best for growing structured and velvety wines, often compared to the great wines of Bordeaux's left bank. The climate in Pomerol is moderate, with sufficient rainfall and sun exposure, ideal for producing well-balanced wines. Pomerol does not have a formal classification system like other Bordeaux regions, but its wines are among the most prestigious.

For food pairing, Château Vieux Certan 2011 pairs beautifully with rich dishes that can balance its complexity and depth. Traditional French dishes such as beef bourguignon or duck confit work wonderfully, as do lamb dishes or even a classic entrecôte with a herb butter sauce. For a taste of the region, consider pairing it with a dish featuring truffle, as the earthy flavours complement the wine’s complexity.

For the optimal tasting experience, serve this wine at a temperature of around 16-18°C. Allowing the wine to breathe for about an hour prior to serving will help open up its bouquet, revealing the layers of dark fruits, subtle spices, and hints of tobacco typically associated with top-quality Pomerol wines.
