Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Le Gay 2021

95–96
/100

Pomerol 2021 når den er allerbedst med tryk og kraft og rig frugt. Utrolig dyb, krydret og kompleks. En kultvin af overdådighed og finesse i et mere klassisk år, som for Pomerol altid betyder noget slankere og finere vine.... et køligere år med mere regn er faktisk en win-win her - og hvis prisen så virkelig falder, er dette et must buy. Bare chic og lækker og erotisk!

Suckling om: Chateau Le Gay

An excellent wine for the vintage, showing great complexity and some depth. Fine spices, cocoa powder, fresh herbs, white pepper, blueberries and plums. Refined and juicy on the medium- to full-bodied palate imbued with silky, polished tannins and a refined, lengthy finish. Shows class. Drinkable now, but better in 2025 and onwards.

Galloni om: Chateau Le Gay

The 2021 Le Gay is a powerful, tightly wound wine, its mid-weight structure notwithstanding. It will be interesting to see where this goes. The 2021 certainly has enough depth to drink well for many years. Dark plum, spice, leather, mocha and well-judged oak inform a wine that is all about balance and proportion.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Le Gay

The 2021 Le Gay is far superior on the nose compared to the Deuxième Vin, much more blackberry and raspberry fruit, hints of iris flower and sage, though obviously less precocious than the last three vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, saline on the front palate with fine delineation towards the composed finish. This is a well-executed Le Gay that just lacks a bit of substance.

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Le Gay

Licorice, espresso, spice, vanilla, plums and red pit fruits crowd into the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium/full-bodied, round, lifted, sweet and polished with ample dark red, ripe, sweet, vibrant fruits in the finish. Drink from 2024-2045.
