2015 La Gravette de Certan

Description

94   James Suckling
“So pretty on the nose with iodine, dark berries, flowers and rose petals. Full body and integrated tannins within a beautiful texture. Intense finish. Focused. Second wine of VCC. Better in 2022.” (2/2018)

“I loved the 2015 La Gravette de Certan, which is the second wine of this reference point estate in Pomerol. Straight-up sexy and open-knit, with thrilling notes of kirsch, tobacco, and sweet spice, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness and a great texture. This is one pleasure-bent second wine to drink over the coming 15 years or so.” (2/2019)

92   Antonio Galloni for Vinous
“The 2015 La Gravette de Certan is a stellar second wine that shows just how fabulous the vintage is in Pomerol. Inky plum, blueberry, mint, lavender and spice notes give the Gravette its dark, sumptuous personality. La Gravette, Vieux Château Certan’s second wine, emerges mostly from the younger vines on the property. Drink it over the next 10-20 years.” (2/2018)
