Tasting notes
The 2019 Certan de May has turned out very well, offering up aromas of rich cherries, cassis, loamy soil and creamy but nicely integrated new oak. Full-bodied, layered and lively, with fine concentration, powdery tannins and a long, penetrating finish, this is a beautifully balanced Pomerol that no doubt benefits from the perspective of consultant Jean-Claude Berrouet.

About this wine
Château Certan de May is a distinguished Pomerol estate renowned for producing elegant, complex red wines that exemplify the region's finest terroir. Situated on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, Pomerol's clay-rich soils and maritime-influenced climate create ideal conditions for cultivating exceptional Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. The château's winemaking philosophy emphasizes balance and finesse, allowing each varietal to express its natural character while maintaining the silky, nuanced style Pomerol is celebrated for.
This red wine showcases a harmonious blend dominated by Merlot, with supporting Cabernet varieties contributing structure and depth. The result is a well-balanced, full-bodied wine with captivating black fruit characteristics and subtle earthy notes that reflect Pomerol's unique geological signature. The creamy texture and lively palate make it remarkably versatile at the table.
Ideal pairings include beef, lamb, and game birds, as well as rich preparations featuring truffle, duck, and cured meats. The wine's sophistication also complements artisanal cheeses such as Brie and Roquefort, making it a natural choice for fine dining, wine collections, and special occasions in villa and château settings.
