Vieux Chateau Certan is one of the oldest estates in Pomerol, with a history that dates back to the mid-1700s when it was founded by Jean Demay de Certan. In modern times, the chateau was acquired by popular Belgian wine merchant Georges Thienpont in 1924; following his death in 1962 the estate was managed by other members of the family until the taciturn, thoughtful, Alexandre Thienpont took control of Vieux Chateau Certan in time for the 1986 vintage. Since Alexandre Thienpont began managing Vieux Chateau Certan, he renovated the wine making facilities in 1988 and again modernized the traditional Pomerol estate in 2003. It was his decision to create a second wine, La Gravette de Certan. He began green harvesting, picking riper fruit and reducing yields as a regular part of their vineyard management techniques. All his efforts proved to be correct as the wines of Vieux Chateau Certan have never been better! Guillaume Thienpont is clearly following in the footsteps of his father and is helping to run the estate today. The 2019 La Gravette is is 100% Merlot in this vintage; fleshy and charming, with floral, spice and savory notes, it shows great fruit density, supple tannins, and bright acidity.
