While the colour is a deep, intense garnet, the nose reveals subtle red berry fruit aromas. On the palate, the wine is smooth, round and balanced. One of the five earliest vintages of the last twenty years, the 2017 promises to be a fine vintage. Vieux Château Certan 2017, with its controlled power, has excellent ageing potential. The harmonious balance between its silky texture and its freshness of flavour has produced a wine with breed and great class that mirrors the outstanding terroir from which it was made.

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. In 1924, Georges Thienpont, a Flemish wine merchant, purchased the property. This marked the beginning of the family’s presence in the Bordeaux region.
