Extrem dunkles Purpur mit violetten Reflexen. Verrücktes Bouquet, rote Pflaumen, Kamille, Melisse und Cakesfrüchte, ein Hauch von trockenem Karamell. Im Gaumen beeindruckend und von erhabener Grösse, viel Pflaumentöne, fettes Extrakt mit fleischigen Konturen, ausgeglichene Adstringenz. Schon wieder ein fast monumentaler Le Gay. Weinwisser
90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 18 Monate in neuen französischen Barriques gereift.
The 2010 Le Gay is performing sensationally, even better than my wildly enthusiastic tasting notes from barrel might have predicted. Inky opaque purple, and presenting a formidable and foreboding nose of camphor, black truffles, graphite, blueberries and blackberries as well as hints of smoked meats and floral nuances. Just about everything seems to be present in this smorgasbord of aromatics delights. The wine hits the palate with power, richness and purity, full-bodied texture, and enormous intensity.
The final blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. This wine needs at least 8-10 years of cellaring, based on its masculinity and structure, and should easily eclipse 20-40 years in a good cellar. This tiny gem of a property has been pushing the quality envelope aggressively since it was purchased by proprietress Catherine Pere-Verge in 2004, and it has hit pay dirt in 2010.

Having been the property of The Demoiselles Robin for sixty years, the château produced on its 6 hectares a wine well known by the most demanding wine lovers. Thérèse and Marie Robin benefitted from a great respect amongst all of the inhabitants of Pomerol, and held high the motto of their father “Quality before Quantity”. Since their establishment, the Vignobles Péré-Vergé manifested another ambition in Pomerol, they decided to invest in one of the premier domains where they finally chose Château Le Gay.
