The 2020 Château Certan de May is an exquisite blend, predominantly composed of 65% Merlot, complemented by 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine presents a dense, medium to full-bodied profile, characterized by impeccable ripeness. It boasts chalky tannins that interplay with flavours of dark cassis and berry fruits, accompanied by notes of violets and chocolate. While it is already approachable now, it will benefit from a few more years in the cellar.
