Château Le Gay 2008 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Château Le Gay is one of the finest estates in Pomerol, producing superb Merlot-based wines. The property is owned by the group Vignobles Péré Vergé, whose portfolio also includes the châteaux La Violette, Montviel and La Gravière. "The 2008 Le Gay is a beauty. Still lively colored, with a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, savory cherries, earth, and dried herbs, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, fine, elegant tannin, and a silky, layered, seamless texture. It has a beautiful finish and is an incredibly classy, elegant wine." Jeb Dunnuck, 2018
