The estate and the wine |
|
|
Château Certan de May is a jewel of a vineyard, just 5.5 hectares in size, and part of the highly exclusive Jean-Pierre Moueix portfolio. Since 2015, it has produced a second wine, La Croix de Certan, in extremely limited quantities — and we’re delighted to present it to you today. |
|
|
| |
|
The 2016 La Croix de Certan is a beautifully shaped wine, remarkably fresh, with a vigorous elegance and an exceptionally refined texture. |
|
|
| |
|
Grapes harvested by hand, traditional vinification in temperature-controlled vats, aged in French oak barrels (10% new).
