Displaying a deep red colour, with light red rims, the 2000 Château Certan de May is blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine reveals intense aromas of blackberries, mocha, saddle leather, plums, dry cherries and a touch of minerality. Relatively light-bodied on the palate, it features notes of cedarwood, spices and some vanilla. Drink now through to 2030.

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.
