About this wine

Certan de May is a Merlot-based Pomerol with a significant share of Cabernet Franc and a little Cabernet Sauvignon, from vineyards on the plateau. It is deep and firmly structured, with dark fruit, spice and earthy notes. It can be reserved when young and typically needs ten years or more, with good vintages ageing for several decades.

About Certan de May

Château Certan de May is a small estate on the plateau of Pomerol, close to Vieux Château Certan and Pétrus. It is one of the historic properties of the appellation, with a long record of producing wines for keeping.

The vineyard is planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a little Cabernet Sauvignon on gravel and clay soils. Certan de May is known for deep, structured wines that can be firm in youth and develop considerable complexity with age.
