Blackberry, dark chocolate and hazelnut with some cedar underneath it all. It’s full-bodied, tense and layered. Firm yet polished tannins. Not heavy, but muscular. Serious second wine. Drink after 2027.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

The second wine of this terrific Pomerol château, the 2020 Manoir De Gay is a winner in 2020, and a wine I clearly underrated from barrel. It has a great, complex nose of red and black fruits, saddle leather, flowers, and Asian spices. This medium to full-bodied, up-front, delicious, and forward Pomerol is perfect for readers looking to understand the 2020 vintage, as well as this château. It can be enjoyed any time over the coming decade.

Second wines are stating to make more of an impact in Pomerol, and this is enjoyable with mocha, cocoa bean and a ton of easy going brambled fruits. A yield of 38hl/h. Average age of vines 13 years, malolactic fermentation in barrel, good stuff and a lovely intro to the first wine.

The 2020 Manoir de Gay has a deep purple-black color and fragrant scents of dried roses, menthol and cinnamon stick over a core of kirsch, black raspberries and chocolate-covered cherries. The full-bodied palate is bright and refreshing, featuring loads of juicy red and black fruits and a satiny texture, finishing with a floral lift.

The 2020 Manoir de Gay is laced with dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, spice, cedar and leather. Inky and deep, with tons of richness, Manoir de Gay is decidedly extracted in style, with strong oak signatures that are overpowering.

Wine Spectator

Friendly and direct, with open-knit raspberry and boysenberry fruit lined with a light tobacco hint. The finish is underscored by cedar shavings. Drink now through 2025.
