Merchant's description

Situated on Pomerol’s prestigious central plateau, Château Certan de May is a historical estate which started producing wine in the 18th century. The vineyard area extends 5 hectares, and the vines have an average age of 35 years. The 2019 vintage is a well-balanced blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It reveals notes of black cherries, black currants, tobacco and peppercorn, finishing on a long, mineral note. The wine will benefit from a few more years in the cellar.
