Chateau La Fleur de Gay 2021

WEINWISSER: "Sehr würziges Bouquet, dunkle Mineralik, frische Küchenkräuter, zarter Veilchenduft und rotbeerige Konturen. Am kompakten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, körnigem Extrakt, sehr tiefgründig, engmaschiges Tanningerüst und muskulöser Körper. Im konzentrierten Finale getrocknete rote Johannisbeere, heller Tabak und erhabene Adstringenz. Auf dem gleichen Niveau wie in den Vorjahren."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, chocolate, licorice, coffee bean and black cherries on the nose open to a soft, sweet, round, supple, textured, fleshy, plummy palate and finish with a nice touch of chocolate in the endnote. Drink from 2024-2040."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Juicy and slightly ripe character with berries, roses and spice. Medium body. Juicy finish."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "From around two hectares of vines on the plateau of Pomerol, the core of which are located opposite Lafleur, the 2021 La Fleur de Gay offers up aromas of sweet cherries, red berries, spices, pencil shavings and truffle. Medium to full-bodied, supple and sensual, it's fleshy and charming, with a textural core of fruit and lively acids. It's a blend of Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc."
