“Chateau La Croix de Gay has good neighbors. The Right Bank chateau is located not too far from Chateau Clinet or L'Eglise Clinet on the Pomerol plateau." – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

“Château La Croix de Gay is one of the oldest estates in Pomerol.” – Union Grand Crus Bordeaux

Smagen af mere end 500 år i Pomerol…

Château La Croix de Gay leverer value i verdensklasse skabt under ledelse af Dr. Axel Marchal…  Decanter Rising Star 2021!

Pomerol-naboerne Château Clinet og L'Eglise Clinet laver kultvine op til 2.000 kroner flasken… Og det siger nok så meget om terroirets superkvalitet, at selveste Chateau L’Evangile (ejet af ambitiøse Chateau Lafite Rothschild) ad flere omgange har købt dele af deres vinmarker hos netop Château La Croix de Gay!

Château La Croix de Gays historie strækker sig helt tilbage til 1477, hvor Lebreton-familiens forfædre opkaldte ejendommen efter det historiske monument La Croix de Gay i nærområdet. I dag råder familien Raynaud-Lebreton over prima beliggende 4,2 hektar, der både byder på grusede flodaflejringer og samme type blåler over rødfarvet jernoxid, som kendes fra selveste Pétrus!

2021 er skabt på 96 % Merlot og 4 % Cabernet Franc, som i kælderen modner hele 18 måneder på 225 liters barriquefade, heraf 40 % helt nye og 60 % et år gamle!

Château La Croix de Gay er sigende for kvaliteten medlem af ”Union Grands Crus Bordeaux” i selskab med prominente navne som Château Cheval Blanc, Château Mouton Rothschild og Château d’Yquem... Topkøb!

Leveres i originale trækasser ved køb af 12 flasker.

Anmeldelser af Château La Croix de Gay Pomerol 2021          

92/100 Revista Adega
"One of the oldest properties in Pomerol, it was acquired in 1477 by the ancestors of the current owners, the Lebreton family. Only 4.2 hectares with 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. The nose is very earthy, with forest and moss. The palate reveals juicy fruit, with oak notes marked by white chocolate, and the finish, with a touch of pepper, is very interesting. It spends 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new."

91/100 James Suckling
“A juicy, medium-bodied Pomerol that shows excellent early appeal. Spiced red cherries, plums and berries with fine, polished tannins and a pure, extensive finish. Textured and well-balanced.”

91/100 Decanter
“A nice pure and clean wine, initially full of flavour and intensity with a nice tannic profile that suggests it's still at the start of its life. The mid palate softens a little with the favours becoming more delicate and nuanced but still with focus. An elegant take on 2021, this has a lovely character with high acidity, salty almost chalky tannins and a long finish. Not massively demonstrable but that makes this all the nicer.”
