Château Certan-De-May2019
About this product
Surrounded by the esteemed estates of Vieux-Chateau Certan, Petrus and Le Pin, Chateau Certan De May divides its fruit between around 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, but this wine is more balanced between Cabernet Franc and Merlot than the vineyards suggest. The wine should be cellared for a medium term, and can be approached within five years for earlier drinking pleasure. The estate remains unclassified, but experts consider it amongst the greats of Pomerol.

Tar and dried tobacco with black cherries and blackberries. Stones, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a flavorful finish. Really tightly wound. Try after 2026.

The 2019 Certan de May is composed of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out with exuberant notes of stewed black plums, blackberry pie, and cracked black pepper with hints of licorice and tar. Medium to full-bodied, it has very ripe, finely grained tannins and beautiful tension supporting the vivacious black fruits, finishing with a peppery kick.
