Merchant's description
Le Fleur de Gay’s debut was in 1982 and is made from 100% Merlot from the oldest vines of Château La Croix de Gay. With some of the oldest vines in Pomerol, the wines are often wonderfully concentrated, rich and exuberant. 1994 was a complex vintage in Bordeaux but, of all the appellations, Pomerol fared the best.
