Deep, polished dark-fruit flavors glide through Chateau Certan de May 2018, layered with hints of licorice, tea leaf and gentle cedar, all wrapped in finely etched tannins that feel powerful yet composed. This Pomerol is clearly built for the long haul, with its richness, freshness and subtle herbal lift pointing to a complex, savory future rather than simple early charm.

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.
