Vieux Château Certan, located in Pomerol, was built in 1745 by the Demay family, who settled there from Scotland. Since 1982, it has been run by the THIENPONT family, Belgian merchants who are also responsible for Château Le Pin. The estate covers 14 hectares in a single block, with no fewer than 23 independently-managed plots, whose soils are made up of a very clayey part, planted with Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This clay soil, made up of gravel and iron crusts from the Pomerol plateau (as with Pétrus), gives it the elegance of the great Médocs.
