Château Certan de May, Pomerol, Bordeaux,
Vintage: | 2011 |
---|---|
Description: | James Suckling: 91 pts "Hints of bay leaf, creme de cassis, incense, damp earth and graphite are present in this ripe, medium to full-bodied, soft, evolved Pomerol. Deep plum/crimson, it should drink nicely for 12-15+ years.". Situated on Pomerol's prized central plateau, surrounded by illustrious neighbors such as Vieux Château Certan and La Fleur-Pétrus, Château Certan de May has long been considered one of the finest estates of the appellation. The wines owe their complexity to the vineyard's soil composition, a combination of clay and gravel that marry power, elegance, structure, and freshness. Director and co-owner Jean-Luc Barreau applies all his care and attention to producing a wine in the great tradition of his forebears. Vinified under the guidance of renowned consultant Jean-Claude Berrouet since the 2013 vintage. |
