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
- WA92
- This property is finally hitting on full cylinders and has returned to the form it had in the late 1970s and mid-1980s. This is a deep ruby/purple-colored wine with notes of graphite, menthol, licorice, and truffle. The fruit character verges between black cherry and creme de cassis notes. The wine exhibits noble and complex aromatics, moderately high tannins, but a full-bodied, firm, muscular structure that will require some patience. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2028.
