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.

Varietal: Red Bordeaux

The blended red wines of Bordeaux have gone down in history as the finest wines every produced, with collectors and many of the general public still eagerly anticipating the wineries of this region's new releases to this day. The secret to Bordeaux's monumental success has been their careful blending of high quality grape varietals, controlled and protected by French law. In Bordeaux, wineries can only produce red wines using a blend of two or more of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec or Carménere grape varietals, with the latter two becoming less and less commonly seen on bottles. The vast majority of Bordeaux red wines use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals, boosted by a little Petit Verdot. These three grapes compliment each other beautifully as they age in oak, rounded out their tannins and the high astringency of the Sauvignon, and resulting in wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.

Region: Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region of France is possibly the most famous and widely respected wine region in the world. Known primarily for its exceptional blended red wines, made most commonly with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varietals, it also produces superb dry white wines (both blended and single variety), alongside the highly esteemed sweet wines of Sauternes. All of these wine types use a careful mix of traditional wine-making methods alongside modern techniques, as well as more experimental and unorthodox practices such as turning their grapes over to the noble rot which intensifies the flavors in the sweet wines. Bordeaux benefits greatly from its position amongst wide river basins, and the cooling Atlantic breezes which blow across the rolling vineyards which cover this region.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
