Vieux Château Certan is one of the oldest known growths in Pomerol. It was founded at the beginning of the 16th century when the Demay family arrived from Scotland to settle there. It appeared on Belleyme’s 1785 map under the name of “Sertan”. In Pomerol, the Certan place-name was taken from the estate. In 1858, Charles de Bousquet became the owner of Vieux Château Certan. The château buildings that we see today were built by him. More than a century ago the grandfather of Alexandre Thienpont (current owner) acquired what is today one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Pomerol area, Vieux Château Certan. Established on 14 hectares in one piece, the vineyard of Vieux Certan is the work of several centuries of work. It benefits from fertile soils. Great care is taken to control and promote the maturity of the grapes. The sumptuous brilliance of its robe, the exceptional richness of its aromas, the depth and subtlety of its taste give it an inimitable style.
