  • What the experts say...

    (...) D'un rubis-pourpre profond légèrement éclairci sur le bord, il libère un nez ferme et généreusement marqué de bois neuf. L'ensemble qui suit en bouche est puissant et musclé, mais également austère. (...) Source : Robert Parker (4/97)

    Château la Fleur de Gay

    The wine

    La Fleur de Gay is the domaine's grande cuvée, designed to rival the icons of Pomerol. The wine is produced from a plot of very old Merlot vines, located between Petrus and Lafleur. 18 months' ageing in new barrels results in a fruity wine with great purity and a wonderful richness. Very aromatic, intense and full-bodied, the wine reaches maturity after between five and twenty years, depending on the vintage.
