Bordeaux Region Report

The Bordeaux wine region in southwestern France is a global symbol of exceptional winemaking, shaped by its geography and maritime climate. Bordered by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, which merge into the Gironde Estuary, the region is divided into the Left Bank, Right Bank, and Entre-Deux-Mers. Its terroir and climate provide ideal conditions for cultivating both red and white grape varieties. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon dominate red blends, with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and others adding complexity. Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle lead white wine production, spanning crisp dry whites to sweet, botrytized masterpieces like Sauternes.

Bordeaux is home to over 60 appellations and several historic classification systems, including the 1855 Classification of Médoc and Sauternes, Graves, and the dynamic Saint-Émilion system. The Left Bank is renowned for structured Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines from Médoc and Graves, while the Right Bank specializes in plush, Merlot-driven wines from Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Entre-Deux-Mers focuses on dry white wines. Bordeaux’s wine styles range from full-bodied reds to elegant dry whites and luscious dessert wines, with each appellation offering distinct character and complexity.

Vieux Chateau Certan, 1989

Pomerol
***94 Points- Neal Martin for the Wine Advocate

***94 Points- Neal Martin for the Wine Advocate, tasted 2016***

"The 1989 Vieux Château Certan has long been one of my favorite wines of that decade. The bouquet shows no signs of relinquishing that title with gorgeous black truffle, bay leaf, warm gravel and briary scents that are simply beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity, "warm earth" on the entry, leather and truffle, great depth here with sublime precision on the finish, which is bridled with hints of mushroom and cloves. Maybe this is reaching its peak? Then again, it shows absolutely no signs of reaching the end of its plateau.

91 points Vinous
The 1988 Vieux Chateau Certan is a vintage that I have not tasted often, something I rue even more having been reacquainted with it. To be honest, for the first five minutes it felt overawed by the 1989. However, it soon gets its act together to deliver and gorgeous nose of black fruit, melted tar and cigar box, unashamedly classic in style, less sensual than the succeeding two vintages and yet extremely well defined. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, perfectly judged acidity, tobacco and cedar dominating the second half and yet there remains more than enough freshness and length to urge you back for another sip.
