Château La Fleur de Gay

5/16/2022 The Wine Cellar Insider THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER (JEFF LEVE) : 91-93 / 100 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. 91-93 5/13/2022 Jane Anson JANE ANSON (JANE ANSON) : 92 / 100 5/12/2022 Vinous VINOUS (NEAL MARTIN) : 88-90 / 100 The 2021 La Fleur de Gay is much more successful than the La Croix de Gay this year, with more fruit and cohesion on the nose, for a start, while the palate is medium-bodied with fine grip. Not the most complex Pomerol this year, but there is a sense of balance and length. 5/12/2022 Jamessuckling.com JAMESSUCKLING.COM (JAMES SUCKLING) : 91-92 / 100 Juicy and slightly ripe character with berries, roses and spice. Medium body. Juicy finish. 4/29/2022 Wine Advocate WINE ADVOCATE (WILLIAM KELLEY) : 90-92 / 100 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. (90 - 92)+
