VIEUX CHATEAU CERTAN
Set on the central plateau of Pomerol in the Gironde, Vieux Château Certan covers 14 hectares in a single block, its deep clays and gravels placing it at the very heart of one of Bordeaux's most sought-after appellations. Founded in the sixteenth century and recorded under its present name from 1745, the château has been in the hands of the Belgian Thienpont family since 1924, today guided with quiet authority by Guillaume Thienpont. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the singular character of its blend: Cabernet Franc plays a structuring role alongside Merlot, lending its reds a tension and aromatic complexity that set them apart within Pomerol. A benchmark of the appellation, and one we are proud to list.
