About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceSurrounded 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 sand-over-clay site produced a wine of ripeness, choc-berry character and a firm tannin profile - from 2010, the wine shoould 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.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Chocolatey, cedary and Christmas fruitcake notes along with some oak, damp earth and forest floor are present in this full-bodied, masculine style of Pomerol, which has a dense ruby/purple color and is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The wine has a nice chewiness to it and is powerful and muscular, but not quite as silky or complex as some of the other top wines of this appellation. Forget it for 5-7 years and drink it over the following 25.
