Certain de May is situated on Pomerol’s prized plateau neighbouring Vieux Château Certain and La Fleur-Pétrus. The 2016 is a sumptuous Merlot-dominant blend with beautiful notes of blackberry, black cherry, roses and tapenade. The palate is quietly intense with black fruit set against a backdrop of fine-grained tannins, seamless freshness and a long, mineral-edged finish.

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.
