Vieux Château Certan Pomerol La Gravette de Certan 2019

This is such a beautiful La Gravette, really one to look out for and recommend. There is lush ripe berry fruit here but also a ton of finesse, and so much Pomerol signature. It will age for a good decade or more, but the plump fruit is already enticing. Unusually this is entirely Merlot, because all the Cabernet Franc is in the main estate wine (and young vines in the world of Vieux Château Certan – that means right up to 25 years old). 50% new oak, 40hl/h. Harvest for La Gravette September 18 to 20.
