2025 Château Le Gay

The 2025 Le Gay is classy, elegant and polished. The purity of the fruit is just remarkable. I also sense a lighter hand with regards to extraction and oak, which really helps convey more Pomerol character while still exalting fruit. This is a sublime Le Gay. Yields were a minuscule 19 hectoliters per hectare. The 2025 underwent 12 days of cold soak followed by alcoholic fermentation in barrel, using indigenous yeast developed at the château, for about 15 days. Floral overtones perfume the finish. This is sublime stuff. Tasted two times.

A tight and polished red with delicacy and finesse I have not seen often. It’s medium-bodied with freshness and brightness. Fine tannins. (04/2026)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Le Gay sashays out of the glass with flamboyant notes of stewed black cherries and preserved plums, giving way to nuances of dried roses, underbrush, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate delivers mineral-laced black fruit preserves flavors with floral accents and plenty of freshness and plush tannins, finishing fragrant. (04/2026)
