Situated on the Pomerol plateau, between Vieux-Chateaux Certan and Pétrus, Château Certan de May is a 5-hectare property currently managed by legendary winemaker Jean-Luc Barreau. The vineyard is planted to Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which grow on a combination of clay and gravel soils. The 2019 vintage – a blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon – reveals notes of black cherries, black currants, tobacco and black pepper, finishing on a long, mineral note. The wine will have a long life in the cellar.
