  • What the experts say...

    Moyennement corsé et plaisant, le 1997 s'exprime incontestablement en finesse et en élégance, mais il pèche par manque de concentration en milieu et en fin de bouche. Le nez et la finale présentent un fruité modérément intense de doux cassis nuancé de chêne neuf et de minéral. Source : Robert Parker (1/99)

    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.
