  • What the experts say...

    "The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple, and the wine offers up notes of black fruits, charcoal and forest floor. It is full-bodied and moderately tannic, but the low acidity and alcohol levels give it a certain accessibility." R. Parker (02/2012)

    The wine

    Just like its neighbour Petrus, Vray Croix de Gay favours the use of Merlot (around 90%), complemented by Cabernet Franc. In the mouth, the wine has the supple delicacy which has earned Pomerol its worldwide reputation. A great wine for drinking after 8-20 years' keeping.

The largest plot is between Petrus and Lafleur, which tells you all you need to know about this terroir. François Pinault has been an investor in this château since 2013. Jean-Claude Berrouet – a former winemaker at Petrus – acts as an advisor to the château. This is an estate to watch carefully in future.
