Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

An elegant style, with savory and shiso leaf hints up front, followed quickly by raspberry, damson plum and bitter cherry flavors. A sandalwood and incense edge gives the finish a slightly firm and perfumy feel. Best from 2017 through 2021. 275 cases made.

A subtle and refined red with chocolate and plum. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.

Medium-bodied with good fruit density, gentle extraction, elegant wild fruit, violet and spicy notes, long and juicy finish.

Weinwisser

Dark garnet, fairly dense at the core, with a ruby rim. Shows a beautiful praline-like, almost compote-like sweetness—noticeable but not heavy—with mulberry aromas and fine cassis nuances in the background. Creamy, velvety palate with a refined vigor from the extract; the tannins have subtly powdery contours. The wine has excellent potential to go down in the vintage’s history as one of the most sensual Pomerols.

René Gabriel

Dark garnet, fairly dense at the core, ruby rim. Displays a beautiful praline-like, almost compote-like sweetness—noticeable but not heavy—with mulberry aromas behind and subtle cassis nuances. Creamy, velvety palate with fine breed from the extract; the tannins show delicately floury contours. The wine has very good potential to go down in the vintage’s history as one of the most sensual Pomerols.

Description

A smooth and elegant red wine from Pomerol

The estate

Owned by the Raynaud-Lebreton family and with origins dating back to 1477, Château La Fleur de Gay is located on the medieval road that goes from Saint-Émilion to Guitres. The estate is located on what used to be the historic village of Pomerol, the hamlet of Pignon, to the north of the appellation.

The vineyard

A benchmark among Pomerol wines, Château La Fleur de Gay reigns over a 2-hectare vineyard that spreads over three parcels on the high terrace of the appellation.

Vinification and ageing

Manual harvesting followed by a rigorous sorting in the vat room. Alcoholic fermentation and post-fermentation maceration in temperature-controlled cement vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Malolactic fermentation and 18 months of ageing in new barrels (100%).

The blend

Château La Fleur de Gay 2013 is a blend of Merlot (75%) and Cabernet Franc (25%).
