Château Certan-Marzelle 2000

Blog

Château Certan-Marzelle has been under the ownership of Christian Moueix since 1999. 2000 represents the first vintage under his management, and is comprised of 100% Merlot, and it’s a tiny operation with little more than 1000 cases. Aromas of plum, forest floor and cedar waft from the glass. Medium-bodied and supple, with brisker-than-expected acidity and tannins. Another 5-6 years of cellaring seems possible. Deeper notes of cherry liqueur, steeped blackberry and wet wood, and the finish is of moderate length. Overall, a pleasing Bordeaux.
