Alexandre Thienpont and his son Guillaume are currently in charge, devoting all their passion and love to producing ever purer, more elegant wines, a mission that seems almost impossible given that the quality of the wines has long since reached its peak.

Vieux Château Certan is a 14-hectare single vineyard planted on the Pomerol plateau of clay, gravel and sand, with a high iron content in the subsoil. The grape varieties are 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are aged for 18 months in 100% new oak barrels.

La Gravette Certan is the Second wine produced on the estate.

Vieux Château Certan produces wines of infinite richness and seduction, renowned for their suppleness, freshness and persistence.
