This combination gives the wine a distinctive profile: Merlot contributes richness, plum fruit and supple texture, while Cabernet Franc adds perfume, freshness and finesse. Cabernet Sauvignon provides additional structure and ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wines typically reveal layers of black cherry, plum, blackberry and cassis, accompanied by violet, cedar, tobacco, graphite, truffle and earthy nuances as they mature. The palate combines generous Pomerol fruit with structured tannins and savoury complexity, allowing the best vintages to evolve gracefully over many years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction at Château Certan de May is relatively small, with careful vineyard management and selective harvesting helping maintain quality. Traditional Bordeaux techniques are combined with precise modern vinification, followed by maturation in French oak. The objective is to enhance complexity and structure while preserving the individual character of the vineyard and vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Certan de May is an excellent choice for collectors seeking classic Pomerol with both richness and refinement.
