Chateau La Fleur De Gay

Château La Fleur de Gay is a Bordeaux red wine made in the Pomerol appellation from old-vine plots. It was first produced as an individual wine in the early 1980s. For a few vintages it featured a little Cabernet Franc, but today the wine is 100 percent Merlot. The idea behind Chateau La Fleur de Gay was to make a wine produced from the oldest vines from their La Croix de Gay vineyards. Chateau la Croix de Gay is one of the oldest vineyards in Pomerol, dating back to 1777.

The hand-harvested fruit is fermented in two concrete vats, and aged in new French barriques for 18 months before bottling. Only around 1000 cases of La Fleur de Gay are produced each year.

Inky dark in color, the wine pops with its roses, chocolate and plummy aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is incredibly silky, plush and polished, The dark, deep, fruits are dense, as well as fresh, giving you a hedonistic thrill ride from the mid-palate through to the sensuous finish.
