Description
In a nutshell:
A stylish and easy to enjoy Pomerol from a bijou, but top notch estate
The lowdown:
A mouth filling wine with a distinctly opulent feel. Sweet blackcurrant and black cherry aromas followed by perfumed violets come first, followed by a soft and velvety palate which has hints of dark chocolate and truffle-earthy richness. The tannins are nicely polished giving it all a silkiness which is very satisfying. It's aged in French oak for around 15 months which adds a few additional spicy notes adding an additional layer of interest to things. Altogether a lot going on here.
The Producer:
Château Vray Croix de Gay while only having just over 3.5 hectares of vines boasts an enviable location on the Pomerol plateau. Their vines average over 50 years of age and the mix is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and since 2015 they've been in conversion to organic viticulture. While annual production generally runs to a mere 1,300 cases making their wines are well worth seeking out.
When to drink:
This is the estate's second wine and is designed for early drinking, so it's raring to go. Try pairing it with rich game like vension or partridge; grilled, or roast beef is also a banker.
