CHATEAU CERTAN DE MAY

Historically, the name of the Château is that of a great Scottish family which lived in France from the Middle Ages and in Pomerol from the end of the 16th century. According to local archives, the estate was the first to be authorised by the King to grow vines in Pomerol. At the time of the French Revolution, the estate was then broken up, before finally being taken over by the Barreau-Badar family in 1925. The Château is located in the south-eastern part of the famous Pomerol plateau. The 5 hectares of ancient vines are planted on this exceptional clay-silica terroir. Today, it is Odette Barreau who runs the estate with the support of her son, Jean-Luc. For sheer pleasure, the wine is extremely charming, powerful, fleshy, robust and supple, all at the same time. It has a "monumental" structure and is very elegant and rich in aromas, with that characteristic fresh-truffle note.
