Manoir de Gay: The Second Wine of Château Le Gay, Pomerol

An exceptional introduction to the hallowed grounds of Pomerol, Manoir de Gay is the elegant second label of the illustrious Château Le Gay. This Merlot-dominant claret offers the famed richness of the Right Bank, delivering superb quality and immediate drinking pleasure, making it a stellar choice for the discerning collector.

Sommelier's Notes & Terroir

Sourced from the clay and gravel soils of Pomerol, this wine embodies the power and softness of its terroir.

• Aromatics: A complex bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, damson plum), hints of violet, and classic secondary notes of cedar, mocha, and a whisper of iron/truffle from the 'crasse de fer' subsoil.
• Structure: The palate is generous and fleshy, with a beautifully dense, yet silky texture. The tannins are fine-grained, providing excellent grip and a long, refined finish. This is a wine of great balance and charm.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This Pomerol is a magnificent partner for traditional British and classic European cuisine.

• Serving Suggestion: Serve at 16-17°C. While enjoyable young, decanting for one hour is recommended to open up its complex notes.
• Pairing Suggestions: Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary, Beef Wellington, or a rich Venison Game Pie.
