100 % Merlot. Ausbau in 100 % neuem Holz. Produktion: 6'500 Flaschen. Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Sehr floraler Ausdruck zu Beginn; Maulbeeren und rotes Pflaumenfleisch, dahinter Früchtetee und Kräuternoten, sehr konzentrierte Fruchtaromatik zeigend. Im Gaumen mit sehr dichtem, geschmeidigen Extrakt aufwartend, hier wechselt die Frucht dann ganz stark auf Cassis, Damassinepflaumen und Holunder, schier überaromatisches Finale. Das ist ein enormes Elixier von hoch dichtem Merlot. 19/20 2024 – 2038

The 2015 La Fleur de Gay is dark and sumptuous in the glass. Plum, bittersweet chocolate, cloves, new leather, incense and tobacco all meld together in this unctuous, flamboyant Pomerol. The tannins need time to soften, but there is plenty to look forward to. This is an especially ripe style, but it all works nicely. AG

The 2015 La Fleur de Gay is deep garnet-purple in color with a baked plums and blackberry pie nose with black soil, cedar chest and dried herbs hints. The palate is full, muscular and firm with a chewy frame and long, grippy finish with lingering earth notions.
Producer
Château La Fleur de Gay
Château La Fleur de Gay is a special cuvée produced by Château La Croix de Gay from a parcel of clay-gravel soil that lies close to Pétrus and Lafleur. It made its début in 1982, though the first true vintage was in 1983. The early vintages contained a small amount of Cabernet Franc; however, it was soon replaced by 100% Merlot. These Merlot vines are the oldest owned by La Croix de Gay, and many are around 50 years old. The wine is vinified in 2 concrete vats that vary in size. Once the wine is finished fermenting, it is then aged in 100% new French oak barrels for approximately 18 months. In certain years, it can be quite a decadent, sumptuous wine, full of sweet fruit and velvety tannins.
