Plushness of dark and blue fruits defines Chateau Certan de May 2022, layering ripe blackberry, cherry and blueberry over hints of violet, cocoa, and subtle herbs. The higher Cabernet presence brings lift and florals to all that Pomerol richness, with fine-grained tannins and a lively line of acidity keeping this generous, modern-styled vintage both polished and structured. It’s a hedonistic yet finely balanced Pomerol that should gain even more nuance with time in bottle.

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.
