Pomerol 2005 Château Le Gay
Château Le Gay 2005 is an exceptional quality Pomerol, sourced from a 6.5-hectare vineyard that was previously owned by the same family as the neighboring Château Lafleur. It is now owned by the family of the late Catherine Péré-Vergé, who also possesses other renowned properties in Pomerol, such as Montviel and La Violette.
The vineyard at Château Le Gay is primarily planted with Merlot (90%) and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc (10%), with vines averaging around 50 years old. This unique terroir, characterized by rich, well-drained soil, allows the grapes to fully express their potential, producing wines of great depth and complexity.
The production techniques at Château Le Gay are meticulous and respect tradition, with a particular focus on quality at every stage of the process. Vinification takes place in concrete and stainless steel vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels, which gives the wine its structure and distinctive character.
