Description

A Pomerol wine of great finesse

The property
For nearly six centuries, the Château La Croix de Gay has been overseeing an exceptional terroir, in Pomerol. The Raynaud-Lebreton family, now at the head of the estate, comes from a winemaking family since 1772, established in the commune of Pomerol since 1447.

The vineyard

An emblematic property of the prestigious appellation of the Right Bank of the Bordeaux region, Château La Croix de Gay ranks among the most appreciated names by Pomerol enthusiasts. The 3.70 hectares vineyard in production is planted on soils made up of Günz gravel and Mindel gravel.

Vinification and aging

The aging is carried out in barrels (of which 60% are new and 40% of one wine) for an average of 18 months.

Blend

95% merlot, 5% cabernet franc.
