VCC=Vieux Château Certan
Vieux Chateau Certan was the most prized chateau in Pomerol between 1770 and 1875 when it was owned by the Demay family. In 1875 the chateau lost its top spot to Ch. Petrus, which incidentally it joins as a neighbour. The two chateaux have the highest proportion of `buttonhole' clay on the high terrace of Pomerol. However, the concentration of the clay at Petrus is higher, which partly attributes to its success over Vieux-Chateau-Certan.
