92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2014 Le Gay has a typical Pomerol bouquet. An iron filing tinctures the broad red fruit, still exhibiting that warm brick/terracotta aroma that lends it more complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, especially for this Pomerol estate, which can sometimes come across as a bit brutish. A noticeable spicy element emerges towards the finish, with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper on the finish. As I wrote previously - this is a great Le Gay.

84/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2014 Le Gay is medium to deep garnet-brick in color. Medicinal/iodine scents soon give way to underlying notes of dried cherries and tree bark with a waft of Sichuan pepper. The medium-bodied palate is a little thin in the mid-palate, with a chewy texture and rusticity on the finish.

89/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

The angularity on the tannins found with Montviel is again present in Le Gay, although it has a compensatingly higher juiciness scale, with a mouthwatering finish to dominant cassis fruits. The challenges of 2014 in this corner of Bordeaux are evident though, with a slight dip through the mid palate, before heading to an earthy, black tea finish. Pere Verge owner.
