Beautiful aromatics here, well worked and full of finesse. Silky texture, with lift through the core, although more austere than the last few years at La Fleur de Gay, with sour cherry notes alongside the raspberry coulis, but this is juicy and enjoyable. Harvest September 28 to October 1, 65% new oak, 2ha vineyard of gravel and clay, Axel Marchal consultant. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
Juicy and slightly ripe character with berries, roses and spice. Medium body. Juicy finish. - James Suckling
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. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
