Vieux Château Certan 2009 (12 BT)

Vieux Château Certan 2009

Pomerol

In original tissues

84% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, an atypical composition for VCC. 13.7% alcohol. 40 hl/hectare made this year. No saignée. But all these details pale into insignificance beside this sublime wine, with its incredible mosaic of flavours. Amazing. No wonder Alexandre Thienpont smiled as one tasted this! Unforgettable freshness, vitality, impact and beauty. It is my star of the vintage. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

84%梅樂，8%卡本納弗朗，8%卡本納蘇維翁,並非此酒常見的混合程式。13.7%酒精度，每公頃釀造4000公升。這些細節比起此佳釀之精彩顯得並不重要，難怪莊主 Alexandre Thienpont 看見別人品嚐時一直保持微笑！令人難忘的清新活力，震撼迷人，我個人對這年份此佳釀十分鍾愛。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
