Vieux Chateau Certan

Over a century ago, the grandfather of current owner Alexander Thienpont acquired Vieux Chateau Certan, now one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in Pomerol. Composed of 14 hectares in a single contiguous parcel, the vineyard of Vieux Certan is a masterpiece resulting from a century of meticulous work. Careful attention is paid to controlling and promoting ripeness in the grapes to achieve a perfect balance of fruit and tannin. The vineyard of Vieux Certan is 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, creating wines of a unique style with exceptional richness of aromas, incredible depth and subtlety of flavors.
