Description
An expressive Pomerol from a historic Right Bank estate, Château La Croix de Gay 2022 captures the finesse and depth of its unique terroir on gravel and clay soils. A predominantly Merlot-based blend with a touch of Cabernet Franc, this wine offers texture, elegance and classic Bordeaux complexity.
Tasting Notes:
Deep garnet in color, the nose reveals rich aromas of blackberry, blueberry and dark wild fruits framed by sandalwood and subtle spice. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied with finely integrated tannins, juicy acidity and layered flavors of plum, raspberry, licorice, clove and dark chocolate. There’s an appealing balance of fruit intensity and savory depth, with a lingering finish that showcases both freshness and structure.
Vintage & Style:
The 2022 vintage reflects both concentration and balance, with a scent profile that is floral and fruit-rich yet poised. The wine’s texture is supple and inviting, with a complexity that rewards both near-term enjoyment and longer cellaring.
Cellaring & Pairing:
Although approachable with decanting now, this Pomerol will continue to develop over the next decade. It pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef dishes, hearty stews, grilled game and aged cheeses — ideal for elevated dinners and memorable moments.
