Certan De May Pomerol, 2022

Certan de May Pomerol 2022 is a refined Right Bank Bordeaux that showcases the depth, precision, and charm that have made Pomerol one of the world’s most sought-after appellations. Known for its silky texture and layered complexity, this wine offers a beautifully classic expression of the estate’s gravel-and-clay terroir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep garnet hue with youthful purple reflections. The nose is elegant and expressive, with aromas of ripe dark cherry, plum, blackcurrant, violets, cedar, and a subtle earthy note that gives it classic Pomerol character. On the palate, expect a supple yet structured wine with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and concentrated fruit framed by hints of spice, cocoa, and graphite. While approachable in youth with proper aeration, it should also reward cellaring, gaining additional nuance and silkiness over the next decade or more.

Production
Certan de May is situated on the celebrated Pomerol plateau, where gravel and clay soils help produce wines with both finesse and depth. The 2022 vintage was likely harvested by hand, as is customary in top Bordeaux estates, with careful sorting to preserve only the best fruit. Vinification is typically carried out with an emphasis on gentle extraction and aging in oak barrels to enhance texture and complexity without overwhelming the wine’s natural balance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and other richly flavored preparations that complement its structure and elegance. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young to allow the aromatics and texture to खुल fully unfold.
