La Gravette de Certan Pomerol 2018

Sale $74.99

Not reviewed. 95 pts Wine Advocate and 95 pts Jeb Dunnuck for 2016

An incredible buy from one of Pomerol’s top estates! This is the second wine from the famed Vieux Chateau Certan, produced from the younger vines on the property. The 2018 Gravette is on par with the 2016, which rated 95 pts from both Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck. (The flagship scored 100 pts WA in both vintages.) In 2018, the wine is almost entirely Merlot. No Cabernet Franc and just a pinch of Caberne Sauvignon. 

Super Limited. I was only able to get 24 bottles. We are currently one of only six retailers offering the wine for sale online!

“the 2016 La Gravette de Certan has a deep garnet-purple color and features lovely redcurrants, black raspberries and black cherries notes with a beautiful floral background of lavender and rose hip tea plus suggestions of sandalwood, cinnamon stick and menthol. Medium-bodied, refreshing, elegant and beautifully seamless, it offers layers of perfumed red and black fruits with a satiny texture and very impressive length.” WA on the 2016

"Darker and denser than the 2015, the 2016 La Gravette de Certan reveals a similar profile yet has more obvious structure as well as full-bodied notes of smoked tobacco, black fruits, earth, and spice box. Deep, powerful, and shockingly good for a second wine, it’s well worth your time and money." JD on 2016
