Deeply flavored yet finely tuned, this 2016 Pomerol layers dark plum and black cherry fruit with cocoa, tea leaf and gentle cedar spice, all wrapped in a smooth, graceful frame of tannin and freshness. Chateau Certan de May 2016 feels concentrated but never heavy, with a lingering, mineral-edged finish that underscores just how strong this vintage is on the plateau of Pomerol.

Château Certan de May is a classic, Merlot‑dominant Pomerol from a small single-block vineyard on the appellation’s prized central clay-and-gravel plateau, lying just a stone’s throw from Petrus and Vieux Château Certan. Typically blending around 70% Merlot with Cabernet Franc and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, it produces rich yet refined wines marked by dark berry and plum fruit, floral notes, truffle-tinged complexity and a supple, velvety texture that reflects its old vines and blue-chip terroir.
