Descrizione

Chateau Certan de May 2022 is a red wine from the Pomerol area. In the glass it shows a balanced, restrained profile with aromas of ripe red fruit, light floral hints and spicy notes. The palate is compact, supported by fine tannins and freshness that governs its pacing; the finish is clean and of good persistence without exaggeration.

It pairs with roasted meats, game birds, hearty braises and aged cheeses; mushroom dishes and rich ragùs also showcase it well. To best appreciate its qualities, open in advance and let it breathe in a carafe for a few tens of minutes; serve between 16 and 18 °C. This label offers drinking pleasure now, with the possibility of further development in bottle. The overall tone is discreet and suited to those seeking a Pomerol red with controlled expression.

Winery history

Wine region with ancient roots: vineyards have been present since Roman times, with significant development in the Middle Ages through the activity of local religious orders. Pomerol's modern reputation was consolidated between the 19th and 20th centuries; the area has been recognized as a distinct appellation and is included in the AOC regulations established in France.

Production philosophy

Production centered on terroir and on enhancing small parcels: many producers run relatively small estates, favoring practices that prioritize grape quality and the expression of the soil rather than high yields or formal classifications.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the Libournais near the River Isle, Pomerol is a plateau with heterogeneous soils: clays mixed with gravel and sand, and a subsoil rich in iron oxides. Its boundaries include the Barbanne stream to the north, and it lies adjacent to Saint-Émilion and Libourne.
