La Croix de Gay 2022

CRITIC REVIEWS

Georgina Hindle

Fresh and lively, but quite tart and a little stalky too, nice acidity keeps the freshness, but the flavours are quite intensely spiced and herbal with strawberry, raspberry, liquorice, clove and dark chocolate giving a bitterness all the way through which doesnt quite match the sharp tangy fruit at this point. Tannins are well integrated, but so well that the sharpness stands out a little. A yield of 25hl/ha.

Deep, glowing crimson. Intense and interesting on the nose with notes of dried herbs that I have not encountered elsewhere. Very sweet and plush – very different from Le Gay 2022 and closer to the Pomerol paradigm. Not overdone though – offering pure pleasure. Already quite approachable with the alcohol just a little evident on the end of the palate at which point ripe tannins make themselves felt.
