• Jeff Leve bewertete (04/2026) Vieux Château Certan 2025 wie folgt: "Violets, iris, black cherries, blue fruits, chocolate, cocoa, licorice, mint leaves, and truffles create the wine's complex aromatics. However, it is on the palate that the wine truly steals the show. Full-bodied, deep, concentrated, opulent, and palate-staining, the wine coats your mouth, teeth, and gums with layers of plums and cherries drenched in dark chocolate. The finish is intense, long, full, rich, deep, and seamless, and you will notice it in your glass. Part of the wine's success in 2025 was blending fruit from young vines planted in 2015, which helped achieve the drinkability you already find in your glass." - 98-100 Punkte
• James Suckling bewertete (04/2026) Vieux Château Certan 2025 wie folgt: " Subtle and pure, with aromas of blackberries, black cherries, pencil shavings and touches of raspberries, flowers, oyster shells and iodine. Medium-bodied with subtle and integrated tannins that run the length of the wine and make you want to drink it. The length and finesse are sublime. A mineral, stone and light cement texture. It grows beautiful in the great finish" - 98-99 Punkte
• The Drink Business bewertete (04/2026) Vieux Château Certan 2025 wie folgt: "Immediately VCC. That gloss, that sheen, that aerial lift and immediate aromatic purity and clarity of fruit. This year the fruit profile is dark: blackberry, black raspberry, blueberry, with loads of crunchy black cherries coming through with gentle aeration or just a little time in the glass. Divine on the attack, cooler in the mid-palate than the aromatics lead one to anticipate, with the fruit held quite tightly to a very well-defined central column. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings a little spice and a touch of black pepper. And the wine, already utterly gorgeous, is rendered even more sublime with the arrival of that trace of cedar. The power is measured. As the wine opens, it actually seems to become more ample in frame, with the crystallinity evident from the attack even more obvious and eve" - 97-99 Punkte
• Weinwisser bewertete (04/2026) Vieux Château Certan 2025 wie folgt: " Verführerisches, reines Bouquet, Schattenmorellensaft, Iris- und Veilchenduft, Heidelbeergelee. Am energiegeladenen Gaumen seidige Textur, engmaschiges, reifes Tanningerüst, tänzerische Rasse und trainierter Körper. Im konzentrierten, aromatischen, langen Finale eine volle Ladung Blaubeere, Lakritze, dunkle Mineralität, gepaart mit erhabener, feinmehliger Adstringenz. Auf dem Weg zur Höchstnote." - 98-99 Punkte
• Falstaff bewertete (04/2026) Vieux Château Certan 2025 wie folgt: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach schwarzen Kirschen, ein Hauch von Erdbeerkonfit, reife Zwetschken, ein Hauch von kandierten Orangenzesten, zarter Nougat unterlegt. Komplex, extraktsüß, schwarzes Beerenkonfit, etwas Lakritze, reife, tragende Tannine, feiner Schokotouch im Abgang, sehr gute Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial" - 99 Punkte
• Jane Anson bewertete (04/2026) Vieux Château Certan 2025 wie folgt: "Fragrant, full of energy, dense with silky tannins, steals up on you as it opens, and this is a gorgeous wine that deserves attention. Chamomile, cumin, cassis, blackberry, cocoa bean, espresso, fresh thyme, tobacco, layered and luscious. This really stayed with me, and I absolutely recommend it, one of the wines of Pomerol in the vintage. Harvest September 8 to 18. Estate signature, 22hl/h yield, 3.75ph. The first year with Guillaume Thienpont fully in charge, although still working alongside his father Alexandre (who began with his own father in 1985)" - 98 Punkte
• Decanter bewertete (04/2026) Vieux Château Certan 2025 wie folgt: "An outstanding VCC this year and one of the picks of Pomerol. Deep aromatics of dark black fruit that stays cool with some liquorice and cola, plus a soft floral fragrance and chocolate creaminess. Inky and really vibrant colour in the glass. Smooth and supple, both creamy and chalky with black fruit and a heady savoury spiced aspect. I love the stickiness - there’s a chew but it remains cool and lifted, nothing heavy, more comforting like a big hug - velvety, charming and almost sensuous. Acidity doesn't stick out, the focus is on complexity and remarkable texture with ripe tannins. Density is there yet it doesn't feel heavy. Ends so cool with lots of cola, a touch of iron and stones, fresh mint and savoury herbaceousness. Absolutely beautiful, hedonistic and so long" - 98 Punkte
