Chateau Le Gay 2022

Le Gay

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 97.0

Château le Gay is a Pomerol estate on the rise, who produce gorgeous wines made from a Merlot-dominant blend. Today their wines are highly concentrated to include a mixture of deep flavours and silky textures – as one would expect from a classic Pomerol. The ten hectares of vineyard are planted with c.90% Merlot and c.10% Cabernet Franc and exists just to the north of Pomerol’s plateau. In recent years their wines have received numerous high scores including 99 points from Robert Parker for their 2010 vintage. The château uses sustainable farming techniques and vinifies its wine in 100% new French oak barrels. It is best drank after at least 10-12 years of bottle ageing.

CRITIC REVIEWS

91-93
William Kelley

The 2022 Le Gay offers up aromas of rich cassis, menthol and toasty new oak, followed by a full-bodied, rich and rather muscular palate framed by sweet, liberally extracted tannins that assert themselves on the finish. While this remains quite a chunky, stylized wine, defined by its fermentation in new oak barriques, it is comparatively restrained for this estate in such an extreme vintage.

96-97
James Suckling

A juicy and polished Le Gay with full body and tannins which are nicely melted into the wine. Dark berry, chocolate and spice character. Savory finish.
