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
Les vins du Château Le Gay séduisent les amateurs parmi les plus exigeants. Appartenant actuellement à la famille Péré-Vergé, ce grand domaine de Pomerol doit sa réputation engageante aux sœurs Robin, Marie et Thérèse, à sa tête pendant plus de soixante ans. C’est pendant cette période que le Château Le Gay a acquis ses lettres de noblesse. Les deux femmes ont scrupuleusement respecté la devise de leur père, « la qualité prime sur la quantité ». Le mot d’ordre de cette charmante fratrie a également été suivi à la lettre par Catherine Péré-Vergé, qui a acquis la propriété en 2002, même si sa première initiative a été de faire passer la superficie du vignoble à 10 hectares. Malheureusement, dix petites années plus tard, Catherine a tiré sa révérence, laissant le domaine entre les mains de ses quatre enfants, son fils, Henri Parent, assumant le rôle de directeur général. A présent, le Château Le Gay a pris un virage résolument moderne, attesté par des installations de vinification flambant neuves et des pratiques viticoles durables. Le Manoir de Gay est un second vin contemporain qui cohabite avec son grand frère, Le Gay, une cuvée opulente et riche aux arômes de petits fruits parés de bois discret. Après avoir été oublié en cave pendant six ou sept ans, il révèle une complexité inspirante aux arômes de cèdre ainsi qu’une structure finement ciselée.
