France / Bordeaux / Pomerol Rouge

 

A true Pomerol "icon"!
Through its accessibility, precision and immediate charm, the Château La Croix de Gay wine draws its ability to age in the clay subsoil of its original plots.
 

The Wine Cellar Insider/Jeff Leve tasting notes (April 2015): "A medium-bodied and forward wine with bright plum and cherry tones and a short finish". 
 

Blend:
95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc.

 

Château La Croix de Gay is one of the oldest family propertie's of Pomerol. The development of the terroir by the ancestors of the Raynaud-Lebreton family, who are the current owners, can be traced since the 15th century.

 

The Château La Croix de Gay's wine is made from the blend of two groups of plots:
 

The first one, famous for it's exceptionnal wine-growing capabilities, is located on the Gunz Graves of the high terrace of Pomerol between Château Rouget and Château Le Gay. These plots represent the historical heart of the blend of Château La Croix de Gay.
 

The second one, grand vineyard, on the Mindéliennes Graves, is located between Château Trotanoy and Château La Pointe.

Both of these terroirs give the Merlot and Cabernet Franc different characters that are both complementary and synergistic, and contribute to complexity of the final blend.
