Subskription Chateau Le Gay

Chateau Le Gay

Le Gay gehört zu der Riege rarer Tropfen, bei denen gilt: jahrelang lagern und dann trinken, genießen, diskutieren und der Magie dieser Weine frönen. Power pur im Glas, voll und weich gepaart mit einer finessenreichen Kühle – Merlot auf allerhöchstem Niveau! Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte "The 2016 Le Gay is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc cropped at 27 hectoliters per hectare between 27 September and 14 October, matured in 100% new oak. The nose handles the new oak in stride with very pure, almost Côtes de Nuits-like red cherry and strawberry fruit, a patina of vanilla emanating from the wood. The palate is silky smooth on the entry with black cherry and blueberry fruit, a fine line of acidity, very polished in style with a gentle grip on the finish. Le Gay hit the high spots in the previous two vintages. I am not sure if in 2016 it quite reaches those levels, although it is still a sensual wine that should age with style over the next 15-20 years." Trinkgenuss: 2021-2040 Wine Spectator: 92-95/100 Punkte "Very expressive, this nearly gushes with warm blueberry, plum and blackberry reduction notes while chocolate and melted licorice flavors fill in the background. Has fruit to burn, but might just be a bit shy on spine for the longer haul." Vinous: 93-96/100 Punkte "In a vintage in which so many wines are flashy, the 2016 Le Gay is sculpted, precise and full of nuance. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, violet and licorice open up nicely, but it is the wine's translucence and sense of understatement that make it one of the most compellingly delicious Pomerols of the year. Michel Rolland consults. Tasted two times." Decanter 91/100 Punkte "The late Catherine Péré-Vergé's sons now run this estate. This has a wonderful depth to the fruit, with coffee grounds balanced by the intense fruit. A little extracted but still very very beautiful."
