    Chateau Certan De May de Certan - Pomerol 2016 represents the second creation from one of the leading addresses in the heart of the Côte de Pomerol. Under the direction of the Thienpont family, this second wine characteristically combines a focus on Merlot with precise oak treatment. The unusually dry and warm spring of 2016 allowed for perfect grape ripeness, which is why the cuvée shows remarkable density despite its younger age, while maintaining the typical delicacy of the appellation.

    When tasted, ripe Morello cherries and blackcurrants unfold alongside earthy undertones of damp leaves, tobacco, and a subtle chocolate vein. The tannins are finely woven, lending a balanced architecture to the overall structure and guaranteeing a harmonious mouthfeel. Experts attest to the 2016 vintage's high aging potential; the ideal drinking window is between 2023 and 2038, when the secondary aromas have fully integrated.

    To complement, rich meat dishes such as beef fillet au Paysan or wild-marinated venison roast are excellent pairings. Roasted root vegetable mousseline or aged mountain cheeses also emphasize the spicy nuances without overpowering the elegant fruitiness.

    LIFE BEFORE...

    ORIGIN OF THE WINES

    Where possible, and especially with larger wine cellar purchases, the wine cellars of the previous owners tell us a lot about the storage conditions of the wines. A professionally managed wine cellar usually guarantees perfect storage conditions for the wines. We acquire our wines exclusively from reputable, mostly private wine collectors.
    HIDDEN FEATURES

    UV-LIGHT TESTING

    Many high-quality wines today feature various security features for authentication, such as markings that only become visible under UV light. We check and compare all purchased wines for these features using an extensive database, and if there is even the slightest doubt, we reject the wine.
    THE DETAILS MATTER

    LABELS & PRINTING

    We examine wine labels under a microscope to determine their quality, and we check the printed image for any peculiarities that are typical for a particular winery, wine, or vintage. We draw on a large image database to identify any anomalies.
    COLOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

    THE CONTENT

    Last but not least, we also examine the wine's composition. Color, turbidity, sediment, and the bubbles in a champagne reveal a lot about the wine's or champagne's condition and potential drinking pleasure.
