Description
Red Wine: 2019 | Certan de May | Pomerol (Half Bottle)
The château’s latest release is the celebrated 2019 vintage, which consists of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine reveals notes of black cherries, black currants, tobacco and black pepper, leading to a long, mineral finish. It is approachable now but will definitely benefit from a few more years in the cellar.

Producer Information
Château Certan de May (or to use its full name, Château Certan de May de Certan) is a critically well-regarded wine estate in Pomerol on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, known for its highly sought-after Merlot-based red wine.The De May (or Demay) family were said to be of Scottish origin, but had lived in France since the Middle Ages, and in Pomerol since the late 1500s. The family became masters of the fief of Sertan, the oldest vineyard in the district.This area also covered the modern vineyards of Vieux Château Certan (which lies just over the road from the winery building) and Château Certan-Giraud (since renamed Château Hosanna), but was divided up after the French Revolution. Since the death of the last de May in 1925, the estate has been owned by the Barreau-Badar family and is currently managed by Jean-Luc Barreau.
