"A minerally red, offering earthy, meaty character as well as fruit and floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicate finish. A little funky. A burgundian style in some ways." ??WS
The estate began producing wine in the 18th century and was managed by descendants of the de May de Certans until 1925, when it passed to the Barreau family. The wines owe their complexity to the vineyard's soil composition, a combination of clay and gravel that bring together power and elegance, structure and freshness. Vinified under the guidance of renowned consultants Michel Rolland until 2012 and Jean-Claude Berrouet since the 2013 vintage, Chateau Certan de May benefits from the best winemaking know-how. The wine is rich, powerful, complex; while it can be enjoyed after a few years of cellaring, its structure and natural depth lend it great ageability.
