Rezensionen & Bewertungen
89 Wine Spectator
Old style, but attractive. Color is deep red, with a brick edge. Intense aromas of milk chocolate, berry and tobacco. Full-bodied and rather earthy, showing funky cedar and redwood flavors. Dry finish. Will it come around? Not sure.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2002. ?JS

In the past, I have expressed reservations about Certan de May's 1989, from its bizarre showings prior to bottling, and more conventional yet loosely-knit performances afterwards. This bottling revealed a raunchy, aged beef, gamey component that will prove to be controversial among tasters wishing to smell only new oak and fruit. While the wine possesses good concentration, its kinky, unusual aromatic profile and hard tannin dominate the concentration and fruit. Although distinctive, it does not live up to the quality of wines produced at Certan de May in such vintages as 1988, 1986, 1985, 1982, 1981, and 1979. Anticipated maturity: now-2009.

Château Certan de May
In unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft des bekannten Vieux Château Certan liegt das Château Certan de May, dessen vollständiger Name Certan de May de Certan lautet. Es war einst Teil seines berühmteren Nachbarn, wurde aber 1858 abgetrennt. Die Mays war ein adeliger Clan schottischen Ursprungs, der sich Jahrhunderte zuvor in dem Gebiet angesiedelt hatte. Nachdem die Familie 1925 ausgestorben war, erwarb André Badard des Anwesens, der Vater des heutigen Eigentümers. Der Grundbesitz mit nur 5 Hektar ist selbst für Pomerol eher klein und umfasst 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc und 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Obwohl die Familie Barrau-Badard seit der Wirtschaftskrise von 1929 Eigentümerin des Châteaus ist, wird es derzeit vom Unternehmen JP Moueix geleitet, das für den Anbau, die Herstellung und den Vertrieb des Weins zuständig ist. Aufgrund ihres relativ geringen Bekanntheitsgrads ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis dieser Weine oft sehr gut.
