2. vinen La Gravette de Certan årgang 2015 fra Vieux Château Certan i Pomerol, Bordeaux.

The Second Wine of the estate is made subsequent to the blending tastings of Vieux Château Certan. Produced from young vines and a contrast to the First Wine, La Gravette de Certan is a wine with very fine precision that faithfully mirrors the pedigree of the vineyard.

With a surface area of 14 ha 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.
