Similar to many 1999 Right Bank wines, this Certan de May stands out as superb. It embraces a very traditional and classically styled approach, leaning towards a more restrained profile. The nose reveals notes of blackcurrant and plum, accompanied by hints of tar, underbrush, and autumn leaves. There is no need for prolonged cellaring; seize the moment and savour this wine now.

Chateau Certan de May
First Class Pomerol
Situated on the prized central plateau of Pomerol, Château Certan de May is situated adjacent to two other world famous Right Bank properties - Vieux Château Certan and La Fleur-Pétrus. The vineyards are characterised by the mix of clay and gravel typical of the commune and the winemaking has a focus on concentration and power. Michel Rolland was consulting in the cellar until 2012 when Jean-Claude Berrouet took over.
The vineyard is planted with 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon with vines averaging around 50 years of age. Wines are fermented for between four and six weeks before around 18 months ageing in oak barrels, around 40% of which are new.
