Certan De May Pomerol, 2020

Certan de May Pomerol 2020 is a refined Right Bank Bordeaux that showcases the plush richness of Merlot with the structure and aromatic lift of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. From one of Pomerol’s respected names, it offers the depth, finesse, and classic balance that have made the appellation so sought after.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with a polished, youthful intensity. The nose is elegant and layered, with dark cherry, plum, blackberry, violets, cedar, and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth and concentrated, combining ripe black fruit with fine tannins, freshness, and a long, poised finish. The 2020 vintage should have the structure to develop gracefully over time, rewarding cellaring over the next 10 to 20 years, depending on storage and preference.

Production
Produced in Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, the wine benefits from the appellation’s gravel, clay, and iron-rich soils, which are especially well suited to Merlot. The blend is dominated by Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and the fruit is typically harvested by hand to ensure selection of fully ripe grapes. Vinification is carried out with an emphasis on precision and gentle extraction, preserving aromatic complexity, supple texture, and the vineyard’s natural expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, veal, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. It also works well with aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
