Intense peony and iris notes on the aromatics, no need to wait too long but there is Pomerol character here, cocoa bean, espresso, they are using oak but they are using it well. 16hl/h yield. 92 points

The 2024 Le Gay is powerful, ample and quite seductive. Floral and spice notes meld into a core of dark red-toned fruit, new leather, mocha and pressed rose petal. Le Gay is vinified entirely in barrique, an approach that adds considerable textural resonance, which this vintage needed. Le Gay is a decidedly potent, dense Pomerol. It is very fine in 2024. Only about 50% of the wine from the property was bottled as Le Gay. Tasted two times. 92-94 points

The 2024 Le Gay has one of the better aromatics amongst the Pomerol wines with clean black cherry, raspberry and truffle scents, fine delineation and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. The wood pokes through a little, so it will need a very prudent elevage lest it is rendered austere on the finish. It is actually quite difficult to predict how this Le Gay will turn out. Time will tell. 90-92 points
