Note di degustazione
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.

Cassis, exotic red and blue fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and some chocolaty nuances all emerge from the 2025 Château Le Gay, a beautiful Pomerol based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that will spend 14 months in new barrels. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, graceful mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It might be one of the finest vintages of this cuvée I've tasted, so hats off to the team here.
A tight and polished red with delicacy and finesse I have not seen often. Itâs medium-bodied with freshness and brightness. Fine tannins.
The 2025 Le Gay is classy, elegant and polished. The purity of the fruit is just remarkable. I also sense a lighter hand with regards to extraction and oak, which really helps convey more Pomerol character while still exalting fruit. This is a sublime Le Gay. Yields were a minuscule 19 hectoliters per hectare. The 2025 underwent 12 days of cold soak followed by alcoholic fermentation in barrel, using indigenous yeast developed at the château, for about 15 days. Floral overtones perfume the finish. This is sublime stuff. Tasted two times.

There’s been lots of change at Ch. le Gay since the Parent family arrived in 2002 – with vineyards replanted, the cellars renovated and the winemaking adjusted. No surprise, perhaps, that quality is now higher than ever.
