The Château Le Gay vineyard is located on the Pomerol plateau, renowned for its clay and sandy-gravelly soils that promote optimal grape ripening. The meticulously tended vines stretch across well-exposed slopes, benefiting from maximum sunshine. This unique terroir allows the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties to fully flourish, producing wines rich in aromas and structure. The proximity to the Dordogne River also helps moderate temperatures, creating an ideal microclimate for viticulture.
The team's opinion
An intense and velvety Pomerol, with deep black fruit, and a powerful and very persistent finish.
