Vieux Château Certan is a prestigious winery located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. With a history dating back to the 16th century, the estate is renowned for producing exceptional Bordeaux blends from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The unique terroir characterized by gravel and clay soils is particularly well-suited to Merlot and Cabernet Franc wines that are rich and nuanced.

Vieux Château Certan, operated by the Thienpont family since 1924 and now led by Alexandre Thienpont, is a 14-hectare Pomerol estate producing red wines from its prime plateau position, where clay-gravel soils and blue clay subsoils support 50-year-old vines. The estate's terroir-matched plantings of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon undergo plot-by-plot harvesting and precise vinification, followed by 18-22 months aging in French oak.
