Critics Scores
Decanter
This is pretty sombre, with a more Left Bank feel than many, really get the savoury and pared back dark berry feel of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, ensuring that the pressure from the tannins is to the fore. As it relaxes in the glass, a grilled coffee bean and liquorice note comes out. This is a lovely and powerful wine that takes its foot off the pedal at the right moment. Has personality and sets itself apart. Really enjoyable, in the Gazin-style in that this is subtly powerful rather than over-exuberant. New cellars at Certan de May, harvest of Merlot September 11 to 16, and the two Cabernets September 28 and 29.
James Suckling
This very refined with polished, chewy tannins and black olives. Medium-to full-bodied, the tannins are chiseled and energetic. 65 cabernet sauvignon, 25 cabernet franc and 10 cabernet sauvignon. Barrel Sample: 95-96
Jeb Dunnuck
A terrific showing from this estate, the 2020 Château Certan De May offers a dense, medium to full-bodied, perfectly ripe style that carries chalky tannins as well as notes of darker cassis and berry fruits intermixed with violets and chocolate. It stays nicely balanced on the palate and should drink well right out of the gate.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Certan de May gives up compelling notes of ripe, juicy black plums, fresh blackberries and black cherry compote, plus suggestions of lavender, wild sage and clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate is softly textured with bags of freshness framing the generous black fruits, finishing on a savory note.
