Certan de May lies on the famous Pomerol plateau, neighbour to Vieux Château Certan and La Fleur-Pétrus. Its reputation is for extraordinary complexity – due to its complex soils – resulting in a paradoxical balance of power, freshness, rich structure and supreme elegance. The wine is rather decadent and while it can be enjoyed after a few years of cellaring, its structure and natural depth lend it great ageability.
"This 2011 is a dense ruby colour. It offers a clayey pure, vibrant almost cocktailed red fruit nose. The palate has a creamy density and generosity, almost succulence to its weight, allied to a dark concentration of structure and fine, fine length. A force with which to be reckoned and then some"
