The Château Certan de May vineyard stretches across carefully selected plots. The soils, rich in clay and gravel, are ideal for cultivating Bordeaux grape varieties. The oceanic climate, tempered by the influence of the Dordogne River, allows for optimal grape ripening, thus enhancing the expression of aromas and flavors. The vines, some several decades old, are meticulously tended, guaranteeing consistent quality and sustainable production. Each harvest is carried out by hand, selecting only the finest grapes, ensuring an exceptional wine.

Thanks to their meticulous attention and passion for wine, they have positioned the estate among the leading producers in Pomerol, attracting the attention of enthusiasts and connoisseurs worldwide.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Certan de May is a meticulous process, blending tradition and modernity. After a manual harvest, the grapes are carefully sorted before being destemmed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature control and gentle tannin extraction. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage. This period allows the wine to refine itself, while delicately integrating the oak aromas. Each step is carefully considered to reveal the potential of the terroir and the personality of the grape varieties.
