This is a mature, refined Pomerol from one of the classic estates of the Right Bank. Château Le Gay is a single-estate property of about 10.5 hectares, located on the Pomerol plateau. Its soils are a mix of clay and gravel, typical of the region. The estate was acquired by Catherine Péré-Vergé in the early 2000s and her son, Henri Parent, now oversees the estate. The cellar was modernised (including micro-vinification) to improve precision and parcel-by-parcel expression.
