Blackberry, dark cherry, mushroom and hints of vanilla bean now. It’s full and chewy, yet the tannins are fine and layered. Plenty of energy here. This is a young Pomerol that needs from four to six years to start to open. 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.

Red and black fruits, saddle leather, iron, and dried flower notes all emerge from the 2020 Château La Fleur De Gay, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, opulent Pomerol that stays flawlessly balanced and light on its feet. I love its mid-palate density, and it has building yet fine tannins and the purity and length that makes this vintage such a success in Pomerol. Give bottles 3-5 years if you can and enjoy over the following 10-15.

Wine Advocate

91-93 The 2020 La Fleur de Gay sports a deep purple-black color and notes of wild blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and mulberries, plus fragrant suggestions of candied violets, cinnamon toast and clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black and blue fruits with loads of spicy accents and a soft, velvety texture, lifted by just enough freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Impressive!

Wine Spectator

Enticing, with a gush of warmed raspberry and mulberry preserves gliding through atop a silky structure, all backed by tobacco and incense notes on the showy finish. Drink now through 2033.

The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 La Fleur de Gay needs some coaxing to release notes of fresh juicy plums, baked blackberries, and kirsch, leading to wafts of bay leaves and wet slate. The full-bodied palate is taut with muscular black fruits and earthy accents, supported by nice ripe tannins and just enough freshness, finishing savory.
