The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Vieux Chateau Certan is a blend of 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon that was picked at 40.50 hectoliters per hectare, in three stages of picking: 3-7, 10-11 and 17-18 October. It has a high IPT of 82 and a pH of 3.77. It has a very refined bouquet with blackberry, briary and morello cherries that are tightly wound at first, but open gradually with aeration. The Merlot is fully in control aromatically; this is not a VCC governed by the Cabernet Franc this year, consistent with the 2016 vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin. There is plenty of dark berry fruit laced with hints of earl grey and bay leaf, a complex and cerebral Pomerol with a long, precise and (to put it banally) delicious finish. This is another outstanding wine from Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont."

Decanter Magazine

"This is a muscular, big wine, more so than in some years, but it is so precise and intellectual, and one of the more austere takes on the vintage at this early stage. The 2015 was more of a crowd-pleaser perhaps, but this has such a gripping, thrilling sense of well drawn out fruit wrapped up in fresh, floral layers. The tannins have an IPT of 82, but are extremely ripe, totally delicious and beautifully constructed. They found more difference between young and old vines compared to the previous year, because of the stress in the summer, so 66% of production made it into the grand vin compared to 75% in 2015. 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon."

"85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Sumptuous nose. Great lift. Real race and dancing stuff. Good structure and line. Nothing sweet or fleshy about this but lovely ripeness and nobility. Amazing persistence and elegance in claret mode."

Jeff Leve

"Grab fresh flowers, buy truffles, pick a bushel of fresh plums from the market and you get the idea of the aromatics. Full bodied, silky, plush and sensuous, the wine shows freshness coupled with ripe, juicy, fresh, dark fruits and concentration. Even with the concentration and tannins, the wine is a dancer -- light on its feet, balanced and fresh-faced. Blending 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine reached 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.77. Picking took place October 3 to October 18, making this latest harvest in the history of Vieux Chateau Certan."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez intense, fruité, mûr et frais. Légère note d’herbe sèche. Moelleux à l’attaque, très fruité et savoureux au développement, velouté en milieu de bouche avec encore cette petite note d’herbe sèche sous le gras, le vin s’achève long, savoureux et aromatique tout en restant charnu. Assemblage : 85 % merlot, 14 % cabernet franc, 1 % cabernet sauvignon. Degré d’alcool : 14°5 (moyenne plus), pH : 3.77 (moyenne plus). IPT : 83 (élevé). Rendement : 40 hl/ha. Sélection : 75 % de premier vin."

Revue du Vin de France

"Dominante de merlot cette année car deux lots de cabernet franc sont passés dans le second vin, La Gravette de Certan. C'est la plus grande réussite de Pomerol avec La Conseillante, dans des styles très différents. Tout est tension dans ce vin, le fruit, les tanins et la fine acidité relayée en finale. Il éclate à l'air et prend une tenue admirable avec une puissance ferme. Magnifique!"

James Suckling

"The balance and finesse to this wine are really beautiful with ultra-fine tannins and beautiful fruit. It’s full and structured yet so long and intense. It’s a wine that seduces you with every sip — already. Great selection here. Quite simply turbocharged at the end."

"A higher proportion of Merlot than usual in the blend has given this fine wine its sumptuous character. In contrast, it has a classically perfumed character and fine black-cherry fruit. It is structured, with a firm base of generous tannins. Beautifully balanced, it is obviously for the long haul."

Bettane & Desseauve

"Accents très subtils de fruits noirs et de poivre de Tanzanie au nez. En bouche, on a un équilibre de la matière, avec une densité harmonieuse qui s’étire avec un juste enrobage. C’est une année où le merlot donne sa force et sa sensualité à l’expression du cru."

VINOUS

"The 2016 Vieux Château Certan is the first vintage to be entirely bottled by the estate’s own bottling machine (just in case that ever comes up in a wine quiz). Alexandre Thienpont mentioned that he assiduously left out the stressed vines, and he places this above his more hedonistic 2015. The wine takes a few minutes to open in the glass, but boy, is it worth the wait: it reveals pixelated red fruit (crushed strawberry and raspberry) and crushed stone, plus a hint of graphite emanating from the Cabernets. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly chalky tannin that frames pure black and red fruit infused with graphite and almost flint-like notes. This is one of the most mineral-driven VCCs that I have encountered in over 20 years, with dizzying precision on the finish. A very intellectual Pomerol, in the realm of the profound."

Neal Martin 100 Punkte (Jan. 2019)

"I have been fortunate to follow the 2016 Vieux Château Certan almost from the beginning, starting with a tasting of several lots from barrel in early January 2017, in which Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont showed me the wines in a sequence arranged by the year of planting of various parcels. Even then, it was clear, the 2016 had the potential to be a majestic wine. Now, from bottle, it is every bit as captivating as early tastings suggested it would be. Sweet red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, rose petal and spice infuse this exquisitely beautiful, layered Pomerol. Alexandre Thienpont adds that the harvest was saved by September rains that gave the parched vines just enough water to restore some of the balance that had been lost earlier in the season. Put simply, the 2016 VCC has it all."

Antonio Galloni 100 Punkte (Jan. 2019)

"The 2016 Vieux Château Certan is a wine of extraordinary beauty. Rich, seamless and voluptuous in the glass, it exudes sensuality in all of its dimensions. Tasted as a hypothetical blend, the 2016 is less expressive than the separate lots were when I tasted them a few months ago. A rush of dark cherry, inky blue/purplish fruit, crushed rocks, lavender and rose petal infuses the creamy, voluptuous finish. The 2016 manages to be dense and rich, but with no excess weight. It is quite simply a remarkable wine."

"85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon

Rouge grenat aux reflets pourpres. Bouquet complexe, filigrane, révélant des notes fruitées où je retrouve des framboises et du cassis. Je relève également des notes de cannelle ainsi qu’une touche de craie. Attaque friande, ample, séduisante, convaincante.Que d’énergie et que de grandeur. Le corps a du gras et une tension exceptionnelle. Il en résulte une vin juteux, puissant et persistant. sLes tannins sont granuleux et se révèlent en fin de bouche. Ils sont puissants et en symbiose avec une structure vive qui confère une magnifique dynamique à ce vin que ce soit en attaque ou en finale. Une symbiose exceptionnelle et un vin qui ira loin dans le temps. Grande réussite."
