VIEUX CHATEAU CERTAN, 2021

1.055,00

Na nosu je izuzetno parfimirano, sa suhim ljubičicama, suhim biljem, slatkim začinima i crnim voćem. Tanini su pročišćeni i potpuno zreli. Vino je sočno, ali kiselost je svježa – svaka je strukturna komponenta posebno izrađena. Okus se lagano razvija, počevši od čiste jezgre crnog ribiza, malo paprike i završava slatkim začinom. Voće je na vrhuncu zrelosti i nevjerojatno koncentrirano. Ovo je zaista posebno vino.

The nose is extremely perfumed, with dried violets, dried herbs, sweet spice and black fruit. The tannins are refined and fully ripe. The wine feels luscious, but the acidity is fresh – each structural component is individually crafted. The palate gently evolves, starting with a pure blackcurrant core, a little bell pepper and ending with sweet spice. The fruit is at peak ripeness and incredibly concentrated. This is a truly special wine.

REGIJA / REGION

Pomerol je vrlo cijenjena apelacija crnog vina u regiji Bordeaux u jugozapadnoj Francuskoj. Pomerol nema formaliziran sustav klasifikacije vina (kao i Médoc, Graves, Sauternes i Saint-Émilion), a svoju je sadašnju slavu doživio u relativno kratkom vremenu. Pomerol se nalazi na istoku regije Bordeaux, u blizini Saint-Émiliona, u području poznatom kao Libournais – grad Libourne nalazi se južno od Pomerola. Dok je većina naziva nazvana po selu ili gradu unutar svojih granica, Pomerol nema takav epicentar.

Jug i zapad apelativa imaju pjeskovito tlo u odnosu na nešto teža tla na istoku, koja uključuju određeni udio gline. Upravo u ovom istočnom dijelu, na marginalno višoj zemlji gdje se Pomerol susreće sa Saint-Émilionom, proizvode se najbolja vina. Ovdje se nalaze tri najcjenjenija proizvođača Pomerola – châteaux Pétrus, Lafleur i Le Pin.

Merlot je dominantno grožđe u Pomerolu i ima veliku ulogu u tome da vina budu bogata, glatka i pristupačna već u ranoj dobi, a također su sposobna za produženo odležavanje. Često je prisutan i Cabernet Franc , koji dodaje strukturu i element slanog začina. Ove karakteristike znače da su vina Pomerol vrlo tražena na međunarodnom tržištu.

Pomerol is a highly regarded red wine appeal in the Bordeaux region of southwestern France. Pomerol does not have a formalized wine classification system (like Médoc, Graves, Sauternes and Saint-Émilion), and it experienced its current fame in a relatively short time. Pomerol is located in the east of the Bordeaux region, near Saint-Émilion, in an area known as Libournais – the city of Libourne is located south of Pomerol. While most names are named after a village or town within its borders, Pomerol does not have such an epicenter.

The south and west appellations have sandy soils compared to the slightly heavier soils in the east, which include a certain proportion of clay. It is in this eastern part, on the marginally higher country where Pomerol meets Saint-Émilion, that the best wines are produced. Here are the three most respected producers of Pomerola – châteaux Pétrus, Lafleur and Le Pin.

Merlot is the dominant grape in Pomerol and plays a major role in making wines rich, smooth and affordable at an early age, and also capable of prolonged aging. Cabernet Franc is also often present, which adds structure and an element of salty spice. These characteristics mean that Pomerol wines are in great demand on the international market.

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY
Vieux Château Certan vinsko je imanje u nazivu Pomerol na desnoj obali Bordeauxa, poznato po bogatom, duboko obojenom crnom vinu (obično) na bazi Merlota. Suci i tisak dosljedno ga ocjenjuju kao jedno od najboljih vina na svijetu, a na aukciji postiže odgovarajuće visoke cijene. Vinograd se prostire na 14 hektara (35 hektara) i jedno je od najvećih pojedinačnih blokova na desnoj obali. Mnoge loze stare su 50 godina, a jedna parcela datira iz 1932. Vieux Château Certan susjedi Pétrus na vrhu i u središtu visoravni Pomerol. Većina vinove loze sjedi na čuvenoj šljunčanoj terasi Gunz, koja se sastoji od velikih šljunka i gline nad podzemljem bogatim željezom. Ovo je prilično plodno, pa se mora paziti da se ograniči snaga vinove loze u korist sazrijevanja grožđa. Oko 30 posto posjeda leži na dubljim glinenim tlima. Merlot čini 65 posto zasada, podijeljenih između glinenog i glineno-šljunčanog tla. 30 posto čini Cabernet Franc, za kojeg se procjenjuje da se osobito dobro pokazao u glinenom šljunku. Preostalih 5 posto - najviše šljunčanih površina - posađeno je u cabernet sauvignon. Omjeri u gotovom grand vin mogu uvelike varirati od ovih brojeva. Na primjer, 2016. je bilo 85 posto Merlot, dok je 2011. uključivalo 29 posto Cabernet franaka. Srećom, dvorac ima reputaciju da proizvodi sjajna vina u onim berbama u kojima su i Merlot i Cabernet Franc bili dobri te u godinama u kojima je dominirao Merlot. Međutim, vruće vrijeme 2003. poseban je slučaj, s 80 posto Cabernet franaka. 1993. (umjerena godina u većem dijelu Bordeauxa) sadrži 50 posto te sorte. Fermentacija se odvija u hrastovim posudama s kontroliranom temperaturom, postavljenim na 28C (82,4F). Parcele odabrane za grand vin odležavaju do 22 mjeseca u novom francuskom hrastu. Drugo vino, La Gravette de Certan, također se proizvodi od mladih loza. Ukupna godišnja proizvodnja za nekretnine u prosjeku iznosi oko 5000 predmeta.
Vieux Château Certan is a wine estate in the Pomerol appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, known for its rich, deeply colored red wine (usually) based on Merlot. It is consistently rated by judges and the press as one of the very best wines in the world, and achieves correspondingly high prices at auction. The vineyard covers 14 hectares (35 acres) and is one of the largest single block sites in the Right Bank. Many of the vines are 50 years old, with one parcel dating back to 1932. Vieux Château Certan neighbors Pétrus at the top and center of the Pomerol plateau. Most of the vines sit on the famed Gunz gravel terrace, which is made up of large pebbles and clay over an iron-rich subsoil. This is quite fertile, so care must be taken to limit vine vigor in favor of ripening grapes. Around 30 percent of the property lies on deeper clay soils. Merlot makes up 65 percent of plantings, split between the clay and clay-gravel soils. 30 percent is Cabernet Franc, which is judged to perform particularly well in the clay-gravel. The remaining 5 percent – the most gravelly areas – is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. The proportions in the finished grand vin can vary widely from these numbers. For example the 2016 was 85 percent Merlot, while the 2011 included 29 percent Cabernet Franc. Fortunately the château has the reputation of producing great wines in those vintages where both Merlot and Cabernet Franc did well, and in Merlot-dominant years. That said, the hot-weather 2003 is a special case, with 80 percent Cabernet Franc. The 1993 (a moderate year across much of Bordeaux), contains 50 percent of that variety. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled oak vats, set at 28C (82.4F). Lots selected for the grand vin are aged for up to 22 months in new French oak. A second wine, La Gravette de Certan, is also produced from young vines. Total annual production for the estate averages around 5000 cases.
