The 2021 Château Certan de May is a refined Pomerol from one of the appellation's historic family-owned estates, located on the renowned plateau alongside some of Bordeaux's most celebrated vineyards. Crafted from a classic blend led by Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 vintage highlights freshness, elegance and terroir expression. The nose reveals aromas of black cherry, plum and blackberry, layered with violet, cedar, graphite and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and finely textured tannins. Flavours of ripe dark berries, cocoa, liquorice and earthy mineral notes unfold across a long, balanced finish. Careful French oak maturation enhances the wine's complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit and the distinctive character of Pomerol.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who appreciate elegant, cellar-worthy Pomerol with finesse rather than sheer power. Pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, wild mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar confidently for the next 12–20 years as it develops additional complexity.
