Vinous Neal Martin - 30 Jul 24
The 1958 Vieux Château Certan is a vintage that I have not encountered previously. As Alexandre Thienpont mentioned, the volume was extremely small as this was just two years after the devastating freeze of 1956 that decimated two-thirds of the vineyard.

Pomerol Fine Wine

Pomerol

Pomerol, a prestigious Bordeaux Right Bank appellation, is famous for luxurious, velvety red wines primarily based on Merlot, often blended with Cabernet Franc. These wines are rich and opulent, with soft tannins and flavours of ripe plum, blackberry, truffle, chocolate, and earthy undertones, featuring a silky texture and lingering finish. Top producers include Château Pétrus, known for its depth and ageing potential; Château Le Pin, celebrated for purity and finesse; and Château La Conseillante and Château Trotanoy, known for elegance and power.
