This is a luscious and beautiful young wine with blackberry, hazelnut, dark-chocolate and black-olive character. It’s full and layered with round, soft tannins and a caressing finish. Great finish. S

The 2019 Le Gay has become a little more exotic since I tasted the barrel sample, offering macerated small red cherries and clove, plus touches of kirsch coming through with time. The medium-bodied palate displays ripe tannins and gentle grip. Quite a solid Pomerol, in the typical style of this estate, with impressive substance on the finish. I sense a bit of post-bottling awkwardness here, but it will come good with bottle age.

The 2019 Le Gay is rich and powerful, offering up aromas of cherries, berry fruit liqueur, kirsch and dark chocolate, framed by a lavish application of creamy new oak. Full-bodied, broad and layered, it's a ripe, heady wine with low acidity and plenty of powdery tannin, showing a touch of alcoholic heat on the finish. From a site that naturally delivers early and elevated maturity, with heat-retentive gravel over clay soils, it's all fermented in barrel to permit extreme selection, picking small lots within parcels in pursuit of optimal maturity. There's no doubting the quality of the site or the attention to detail in the cellar, but to my palate, this flirts with over-ripeness; my score gives it the benefit of the doubt.

Features black currant and blackberry compote flavors that have a good underlying juicy feel, while melted black licorice and Christmas pudding hints create a seductive backdrop on the toasty finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2034. 2,083 cases made. — JM

Château Le Gay
Die anspruchsvollsten Weinliebhaber sind Kunden des Château Le Gay. Derzeit im Besitz der Familie Péré-Vergé, verdankt dieses Pomerol-Anwesen seinen hervorragenden Ruf den Schwestern Marie und Thérès Robin, denen das Château über sechzig Jahre lang gehörte und die in dieser Zeit seinen Ruhm begründeten. Unvergessen sind die beiden für das von ihnen gepflegte Motto ihres Vaters: “Qualität vor Quantität”. In Fortsetzung des charmanten Wirkens der Schwestern erwarb Catherine Péré-Vergé das Château 2002 und vergrößerte es unmittelbar anschließend auf 10 Hektar. Als Catherine zehn Jahre später starb, übernahmen ihre vier Kinder den Besitz, und Sohn Henri Parent leitete als Geschäftsführer die Modernisierung ein, mit rundum neuen Vinifikationsanlagen und nachhaltiger Bewirtschaftung. Derzeitiger Zweitwein des Hauses ist Manoir de Gay, und Grand Vin ist der opulente, an Beerenfrüchten reiche und von einer leichten Eichennote durchwobene Le Gay. Sechs bis sieben Jahre Geduld, und es offenbart sich die anregende, von Zedernholz akzentuierte Komplexität und fein ausgearbeitete Struktur dieses Weins.
