In 1946, George and Monica Thienpont (owners of Vieux Château Certan), coming from their natal Flanders, moved into Puygueraud and restored the XVth Century chateau. Then after a long pause undertook the reconstruction of the vineyard.
In 1981, Nicolas Thienpont, with his father, engaged in the transition between a production oriented viticulture to one of excellence. Since 1983, the first vintage year mark, this approach has continued.
Since 2009, Nicolas and his son Cyrille Thienpont, have worked hand-in-hand for the crafting of this wine that over the last 30 years has become the flagship of the Francs Côtes-de-Bordeaux appellation and a veritable jewel of Bordeaux.
