Certan de May, situated on the Pomerol plateau, is respected for its rich and velvety wines predominantly made from Merlot, which are known for their depth, complexity, and aging potential.

Château Certan de May is a family-owned Pomerol estate spanning 5.5 hectares on the appellation's central plateau, where the Barreau family produces approximately 25,000 bottles annually from Merlot-dominant vineyards planted on iron-rich clay and gravel soils. Their winemaking philosophy honors traditional methods through hand harvesting, parcel-specific fermentation in concrete vats, and aging in French oak while maintaining a non-interventionist approach that emphasizes terroir expression from their mature vines averaging over 35 years.
