Château Le Gay 2008 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Château Le Gay is one of the finest estates in Pomerol, producing superb Merlot-based wines. The property is owned by the group Vignobles Péré Vergé, whose portfolio also includes the châteaux La Violette, Montviel and La Gravière. "The 2008 Le Gay is a beauty. Still lively colored, with a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, savory cherries, earth, and dried herbs, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, fine, elegant tannin, and a silky, layered, seamless texture. It has a beautiful finish and is an incredibly classy, elegant wine." Jeb Dunnuck, 2018

The 2008 Le Gay has an intense Merlot-driven bouquet that soars from the glass: kirsch, orange zest, rose petal and touches of truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, crisp acidity, nicely structured with a structured, saline finish that just lacks the aftertaste that would have clinched the deal. Not bad, though I suspect that decanting, always necessary for this Pomerol cru, would have resulted in a higher score. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 10-Year On tasting.
