critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple colored. Notes of fresh blackberries and stewed red cherries leap from the glass, followed by hints of wild sage and damp soil. The light to medium-bodied palate has a sturdy frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the delicate black and red berry flavors, finishing earthy.
The 2024 Le Gay has one of the better aromatics amongst the Pomerol wines with clean black cherry, raspberry and truffle scents, fine delineation and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. The wood pokes through a little, so it will need a very prudent élevage lest it is rendered austere on the finish. It is actually quite difficult to predict how this Le Gay will turn out. Time will tell.
Intense peony and iris notes on the aromatics, no need to wait too long but there is Pomerol character here, cocoa bean, espresso, they are using oak but they are using it well. 16hl/h yield.
