In the heart of the Pomerol, only a few rows of vines away from the famous church tower, is situated Vieux Château Certan, the oldest cru of the appellation. Founded in the XVIth Century and known under its present name since 1745, the chateau was acquired in 1924 by Georges Thienpont. Since this time it has continued to affirm itself as one of the rarest and most prestigious crus in the world. A symbol of perfection; the exquisite finesse of its wines, the elegance of the chartreuse chateau surrounded by age-old trees, the order and quality of the vineyard, Vieux Château Certan inspires fascination on the part of great international connaisseurs and artists. –Old & Rare Wine Company
