James Suckling: 94/100 Punkte 'Very pretty and refined with an excellent depth of fruit and attraction. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh and subtle finish. Shows elegance.' WineSpectator: 91-94/100 Punkte 'This has some eye-opening toasty depths, with warm ganache and vanilla notes leading the way for a very polished core of plum preserve flavors. A bit monochromatic, but it is a pretty color.' Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95+/100 Punkte 'The deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Le Gay is youthfully mute, opening with black cherries, wild blueberries and mulberry scents with suggestions of violets, licorice and black soil. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers beautifully delineated fruit with oodles of freshness and firm yet beautifully ripe tannins, finishing very long and perfumed.' Vinous (Neal Martin): 90-92/100 Punkte 'The 2017 Le Gay has a strong whiff of the sea coming from the glass, brine and a little Japanese nori (seaweed) that is neatly sutured into the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a little oaky at the moment with dark chocolate and a little leather tincturing the black and red fruit. It just feels a little predictable on the finish whereas the best recent vintages of Le Gay have fanned out and demonstrated more precision. Nevertheless, Le Gay often blossoms during its élevage so this might surprise when in bottle.' Wine Enthusiast: 92-94/100 Punkte 'Barrel Sample. This is a dense, opulent wine—the epitome of the Pomerol appellation. It is generous and open, with great dark fruits and integrated tannins that will allow the wine to age. Drink from 2024.' Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte '90 % Merlot. 10 % Cabernet Franc, 23 hl/ha. Purpurgranat. Dichtes, verwobenes Waldbeerenbouquet, dahinter Schattenmorellensaft und Holundergelee. Am cremigen Gaumen mit feinsandigem Tannin und süssem Extrakt. Im langen, gebündelten Finale eine Orgie von blauen Beeren, Mokkacreme und Lakritze. 2025 – 2045' Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
