Château Le Gay 2024

A structured Pomerol wine of great richness

The estate

Created in 1845 under the name Domaine du Gay, Château Le Gay became a distinct entity after the sale of part of its vineyards in 1872, giving rise to Château Lafleur. Located on the Pomerol plateau in Bordeaux, this 11.19-hectare estate on clay-gravel soils produces exceptional wines. The vineyard was managed for six decades by the Robin sisters, recognized and respected in Pomerol for their expertise and their famous paternal motto “Quality over quantity.”

The vineyard

The vineyard extends over a single 10.39-hectare production plot, located on the prestigious plateau of Pomerol. The clay-gravel soils give the wines their distinctive character and exceptional aging potential. The vines, averaging 20 years old, receive meticulous care.

Winemaking and aging

Integral winemaking with a pre-fermentation maceration at 6°C for 15 days. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place directly in new barrels, followed by 12 to 16 months of aging in premium barrels previously used for winemaking.

Blend

The blend of this Château Le Gay 2024 consists of 81% merlot and 19% cabernet franc.
