The wines from Château Certan de May owe their complexity to the vineyard’s soil composition, a combination of clay and gravel that bring together power and elegance. The 2018 vintage is a fresh and juicy wine, composed of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Beautifully aromatic, with scents of red cherries, blueberries, plums, fresh herbs and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine presents some new oak toastiness and savoury characters, finishing on a spicy note.
