Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Under the administration of Catherine Pere-Verge, Le Gay has become a serious, super-concentrated, potentially long-lived Pomerol. The backward 2006 reveals complex notes of plums, black cherries, truffles, and chocolate in a big, masculine, full-bodied, virile style that begs for cellaring. This..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This powerful, top-notch Pomerol is full-bodied and super-endowed, with substantial tannins largely concealed by superb fruit and extract."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The most powerful, finest overall wine made at this estate since their 1982, the muscular 2009 reveals a dense ruby/purple color in addition to meaty, smoky notes of black cherries, iron, truffles, loamy soil, and spice. Dense, full-bodied, and virile with a boatload of tannin, patience will be a..

"Gorgeous kirsch liqueur notes, raspberry jam, forest floor, spice box, new saddle leather and a peppery spiciness are all present in this deep, voluptuously textured, open-knit Clos des Papes, which is atypically forward, luscious and approachable already.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Ferocious extract, huge tannin, an opaque purple color, and enormous richness all make for a potentially brilliant wine from this vineyard, located on the plateau of Pomerol just adjacent to Petrus. Probably a late finisher of malolactic given its showing on three separate occasions, this wine,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A simply gorgeous nose of high-toned and wonderfully elegant, pure and refined nose offers up layer after layer of nuanced red and plum fruit notes plus lovely floral hints that gracefully introduce rich, full and equally complex flavors that are at once generous yet refined and detailed, all..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A ripe but airy, cool and ultra elegant nose speaks of restrained red berry fruit nuanced with plenty of Gevrey-style earth that is also well reflected by the strikingly detailed, pure and harmonious medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a focused, linear, dusty and energetic finish. This beauty..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... it reveals gorgeous textural finesse and fabulous overall balance. The 2010 floats on the palate with an effortless expression of fruit that is truly remarkable. Deep layers of spices wrap around the sensual finish. This is another fabulous wine from Bruno Clair." (Antonio Galloni)
