a wine tasting in the beautiful setting of the barrel room of a winery is always a pleasure for those who love this fabulous addition to the world, we enjoyed the atmosphere that prevails in those corners where grape wood and conspire for this feeling so hard to express, which is direct contact with the most sacred temple of viticulture. If in addition to all this, you can enjoy the explanations of the head of the creature while tasting the wine, then the prize is complete. During our visit to primeurs Certan Vieux Château, we were graciously served by Alexandre Thienpont, a man dedicated to her store, close to the deal and that was good enough to give us all kinds of explanations on the production, distribution and processing.
The château is the oldest Pomerol. It was founded in the sixteenth century by the Scottish family Demay. And in 1924 passed into new hands, was bought by the ancestors of our host, the Thienpont family, originally from Belgium. Vieux Chateau Certan has a ninety percent new barrels, with production of fifty thousand bottles and ground-acre vineyard. This wine, in advance of vintage 2010, the majority blend of Merlot (86%), together with eight percent cabernet franc and a six percent cabernet sauvignon, only sold through Negociants and brokers . His wine is aged for a period of eighteen to twenty months. Just about a dark
apicotado shiny and bright. A violet reflection, but of low intensity. Fruity perfume nose very suggestive of a primary passing touch of blackcurrant to achieve a pleasant impression of red plum. A simple nasal perfect. Memories are barely even wood. In the mouth it is brief but intense sweetness primary attack, hinting after and opening up spoiled and nothing excessive acidity. Shows a soft and pleasant tannins, present yes, but they seem to caress our senses taste. It is a pleasant wine, with structure and purity, very vinous and extends its arms to the fullness and softness. The fruit is palpable. Perfect tour, showing harmony. High degree of persistence. Aftertaste that retrieves fruit nose, a beautiful chapter, and adds a memory floral rose petals.
One of the easiest wines all primeurs editing, yet more complete and pure. I was in love. Highly recommended.
