File: Bordeaux Futures 2007: The Winemakers
The week of the UGC en primeurs tastings is hectic. 5,000 people, scrambling from one tasting to the next, criss crossing the region, many of them lost. A tasting with Alexandre Thienpont in the calm of Vieux Chateau ...
Certan was a welcome respite. Thienpont has managed the 14-hectare estate in Pomerol for his extended, and extensive, family since 1986.
We tasted his 2007 vintage while discussing his plans for changing the grape varieties grown on the estate as well as the emphasis he placed on preserving the fruit in the winemaking and aging of the 2007 vintage.
