Vieux Chateau Certan 1975

1975

Vieux Château Certan is one of the oldest Bordeaux wine properties in Pomerol. The estate’s history dates all the way back to the mid 1700′s when it was founded by Jean Demay de Certan. The original chateau was constructed closer to 1770. The Demay’s were well known for their work in the Bordeaux wine trade. They were successful negociants and wine merchants. The wines of what we know today as Vieux Chateau Certan were originally sold under the name of Sertan. The vineyards of Vieux Chateau Certan were much larger in their formative years. The land was split and divided after the French Revolution and again through sales transactions that gave birth to Certan de May and various other estates that continue using the name Certan in their title. In its formative years, the wine of Vieux Chateau Certan was considered to be among the top, if not the best wine of the Pomerol appellation. The more things change, the more they stay the same as Vieux Chateau Certan is once again considered one of the best wines of Pomerol.
