Vieux Château Certan 2010 (12 BT)

Vieux Château Certan 2010

Pomerol

86% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. The blend composition resembles the excellent 1998. 75% new barrels. Really sumptuous richness and a wine of enormous precision and the glycerol covers the very high tannin index. There is such extraordinary, creamy density in this wine. This is a very high Merlot content giving the plumpness but the tiny proportion of Cabernet Franc still comes singing through!

Celebrating the life and tastes of an oenophile, this beautiful collection comes to auction from a single, purpose-built, and temperature-controlled private cellar in the South of Europe. All the wines were directly purchased from one of the most prestigious, reputable and highly respected Wine Merchants in Bordeaux. The Classic tastes of the late owner are obvious, with an impressive depth of Cru Classé Bordeaux on offer from the 1990s to 2010s, with an extensive representation across First Growths to Fifth Growths, together with an outstanding array of some of the greatest Crus recently produced in Pessac-Léognan, Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Beyond Bordeaux, we glimpse more of the collector’s affinities, with a small selection of iconic Californian gems. Great vintages are a gift from Mother Nature and this collection has assembled some of the best wines produced in Bordeaux for the past 3 decades in tremendous quantities with a large variety of formats from half bottles to double magnums. This is a cellar to satisfy every wine lover from all over the world.
