Ripe dark plums with berries, peppery spices, citrus and dried herbs. Nicely fluid and balanced, this has fine-grained tannins and a lengthy finish. Effortless balance here. Already very attractive now. Drink or hold.

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 2022 Vray Croix de Gay is soft, open-knit and gracious. I found it much more expressive en primeur. Ripe dark cherry, mocha, spice, new leather and floral overtones build nicely. It will be interesting if the 2022 shows more of that stylish charm and depth I saw in the barrel samples with more time in bottle.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Vray Croix de Gay is the first vintage produced from start to finish by Vincent Millet and his team from Calon Ségur. Exhibiting aromas of sweet berries, orange zest, violets and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and velvety, with lively acids and a saline finish. It's derived from a parcel opposite Le Gay and Trotonoy. (91-93)

Warm and seductive in feel, with steeped blackberry and melted licorice notes rolling through with a caressing structure and a perfumed finish redolent of black tea and alder. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2035. 833 cases made.

The Wine Independent

This is the first vintage in which the new owners, Suravenir, led by Vincent Millet of Calon-Ségur, had complete control. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, from 3.67 hectares of vines. The élevage was in 30% new oak, the remainder used oak and amphorae, for 18 months. An intriguing nose, scented, delicately minted, floral notes, over black cherry and liquorice fruits. The palate is as perfumed as the nose, all violets and roses over black cherry, with a finely knit band of tannins running beneath it, and fresh acidity as well. A nicely composed style here, with powdery layers of grip and fresh tension from the rather forward acidity. It needs cellar time but has potential. The alcohol on the label is just 13%, a very modest figure for the appellation in this vintage.
