92-94 Barrel Sample. Here’s a complex, rich wine that has fine acidity as well as ripe blackberry fruits. It’s certainly firmly structured, but it has the flesh to support it.

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.

Decanter

Le Gay took care not to extract more than the vintage could deliver, and the result is a suave wine with excellent balance. There's intensity and charm on the nose with cherry and raspberry fruit. The succulence of the palate is supported by ripe tannins that give texture and spice. This stylish Pomerol has better length than most of its peers.

James Suckling

This red exhibits aromas of plum and currant and hints of chocolate. Full body, velvety tannins and a caressing textured finish. Harmonious. Better in 2019 but already delicious to drink.

Wine Advocate

The 2013 Le Gay has a pretty, well defined, quite fresh bouquet with vivacious crushed strawberry and red cherry aromas, a little cold stone just underneath, almost Pinot Noir-like in personality. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite juicy compared to its peers with respectable depth and fine tannin. This is a lovely 2013 as I found in barrel, with a lilting red berry and spice finish that leaves you wanting to take another sip.

Wine Spectator

Lightly singed vanilla and cocoa hints glide through the alluring plum and raspberry fruit, with a light sandalwood frame on the finish. Very silky, showing subtle persistence and lovely fruit. Drink now through 2018. 778 cases made, 250 cases imported.
