Château le Gay – Pomerol – Red – 2016 – 3000 ml:
Château Le Gay: The Opulent Core of Pomerol’s Plateau
Positioned on Pomerol’s mythical plateau, right next to Pétrus and Lafleur, Château Le Gay is a collector’s wine that embodies the pinnacle of Right Bank excellence. Driven by the vision of Catherine Péré-Vergé and the expertise of Michel Rolland, the estate employs a modern approach, including micro-vinification in 100% new French oak, resulting in a wine of spectacular richness and concentration.
Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)
- Color: A deep, intense purple-black hue.
- Nose: An opulent, seductive bouquet featuring cooked black fruits (plum, black cherry), molten licorice, mocha, and the signature truffle notes found in top Pomerol’s ‘iron-rich clay’ soil.
- Palate: Rich and decadent, it delivers a velvety, sensuous texture. Tannins are ripe, silky, and utterly enveloping, leading to a finish of epic length, punctuated by hints of minerality and sweet spice.
Pairing & Service
This grand, age-worthy wine demands a dish of equal stature. Decanting is recommended after a few years in the cellar. It pairs perfectly with the finest meat and game dishes.
