91-93/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2025 Le Gay has a well-defined bouquet with bright blackberry and cassis fruit, orange sorbet and light floral scents emerging with time. The palate is quite muscular and grippy on entry. Black fruit, a healthy dose of cracked black pepper, quite linear and strict towards the finish. It feels just slightly disjointed at the moment but it should knit together in barrel, though a second bottle showed better, exhibiting more bite and minéralité on the finish.

Cloves, white pepper, blueberry fruits, damson and cocoa bean, plenty of gourmet touches, lavender, rose stem, just skirting full ripeness, but with a lovely juicy finish. Harvest September 2 to 11. 19.5 hl/ha. 100% new oak.
