Wine Description and Region Overview:
Château Certan de May's 2017 Pomerol is a distinguished red wine hailing from the prestigious Le Libournais subregion in Bordeaux, France. Known for its robust Merlot-centric blends, this wine showcases the quintessential characteristics of Pomerol's terroir: a palette of rich fruity notes underscored by velvety tannins. The 2017 vintage navigated the challenges of a frost-affected season, resulting in wines that exhibit concentration and finesse. The Pomerol region is celebrated for its nuanced terroirs, where gravel and clay soils contribute complexity, while a moderate maritime climate ensures optimal ripening. Château Certan de May is esteemed for its commitment to tradition and quality, contributing to Pomerol's storied legacy.
Food and Wine Pairing Suggestions:
This Pomerol pairs exquisitely with rich and hearty dishes. Consider slow-cooked beef bourguignon or a fillet mignon topped with a truffle sauce to complement the wine’s depth of flavour. For enthusiasts of regional cuisine, a duck confit with roasted vegetables highlights both the wine’s fruit-forward character and its subtle earthiness. Cheese lovers might opt for a mature brie or camembert, harmoniously marrying the wine’s structure and smoothness.
Tasting Advice:
For an optimal tasting experience, serve this Pomerol at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decant for approximately 1-2 hours before serving to allow the aromas to fully develop. Begin by observing the wine's deep colour and subtle hues, then swirl gently and inhale to capture the bouquet of ripe plum, cherry, and hints of earthy undertones. Taste in small sips, savouring the progression of flavours and the elegance of its finish.
