Vieux Château Certan, one of the oldest estates in Pomerol, has a history dating back to the mid-1700s. Founded by Jean Demay de Certan, the property originally operated under the name of Sertan. The Demay de family, well-known wine merchants, played a significant role in the Bordeaux wine trade. Over time, the estate's vineyards were divided, giving rise to other châteaux with the Certan name. Today, Vieux Château Certan is celebrated as one of the finest wines in Pomerol.
