Vineyard Notes
With a surface area of 14 hectares (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. The soils are subtly varied and contain a very clayey part planted mainly with Merlot (70%), a gravel-clay part planted with Cabernet Franc (25%) and a very gravelly part planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). Taking into account the total surface area, the average age of the vineyard is 50 years. These old vines, together with the beneficial effect of the Pomerol plateau’s micro-climate, enable the different grape varieties to reach perfect.
Winemaking
The vinifications are carried out in temperature-controlled oak vats. We regulate them at 28°C to ensure a gentle, measured extraction. Inside the cellars, materials and equipment have been chosen with meticulous care in order to provide the best possible conditions for both the wine and the environment.
