Vinification of the Pomerol from Château Certan de May

The well-balanced Pomerol from France is a cuvée, vinified from the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Pomerol is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Frenchman exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
