The Winery

Certan de May

Unique to right bank Bordeaux with its vineyard being made up of only one block, Certan de May stands proudly just as so. This Château, originally owned by the Demay family, has been in wine production since the late 1700’s. This Merlot dominated vineyard is home to deep clay and gravel soils, as well as vines that date back to the 1950s. This Château gives the Right Bank lover what they are looking for with lush fruit, and a smooth as silk finish.

Tasting Notes

JS95
So much blackberry, stone, dried-mushroom and wet-earth character on then nose. Yet it’s a wine that remains clear and focused. Medium-to full-bodied, linear and tannic. A serious wine. Best in years from here. Better in 2022.
WE94
This is a big wine in its breadth of flavors and structure. Powerful tannins give hints of the wood aging. The ripe black fruit is given a crisp edge by the acidity that is typical of the vintage. The wine will certainly age well. Drink from 2023. …
