I expressed strong reservations towards the 2020 Certan de May in barrel, and sad to say, there is no reason to alter my view from bottle. For a start, the nose feels very herbaceous and lacks the complexity of the preceding Hosanna. Despite rigorous coaxing, it just doesn`t click into gear. The palate shows marginal improvement with a little more substance, but where is the nuance, the depth, the complexity that this Pomerol can deliver in spades? - Neil Martin
The 2020 Château Certan de May is an exquisite blend, predominantly composed of 65% Merlot, complemented by 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine presents a dense, medium to full-bodied profile, characterized by impeccable ripeness. It boasts chalky tannins that interplay with flavours of dark cassis and berry fruits, accompanied by notes of violets and chocolate. While it is already approachable now, it will benefit from a few more years in the cellar.
