Producer

Producer

The Château Le Gay vineyard stretches across clay and gravelly soils, characteristic of the Pomerol appellation. These terroirs, bathed in a temperate oceanic climate, promote optimal grape ripening. The vines, averaging 30 years old, benefit from ideal sun exposure, resulting in berries concentrated in aromas. The sustainable approach adopted by the estate ensures the health of the soils and vines, while preserving the surrounding biodiversity. Each harvest is carried out by hand, guaranteeing rigorous selection of the grape bunches.

Owner and history

Château Le Gay is now managed by the Thunevin family, who are passionate about the art of winemaking. Their commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in every bottle. By perpetuating traditions while integrating modern practices, they have successfully developed the estate while respecting its heritage. The family pays meticulous attention to every detail, from the vineyard to the cellar, thus guaranteeing exceptional wines that appeal to enthusiasts worldwide.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Le Gay is a meticulous process that begins with the hand-harvesting of the grapes, followed by rigorous sorting. After delicate destemming, the berries are placed in vats for temperature-controlled fermentation. This wine benefits from aging in barrels, some of which are new, adding further complexity without masking the fruit. Aging lasts approximately 12 months on fine lees, thus promoting the expression of aromas and a rounded mouthfeel. Each step is carefully considered to enhance the terroir and reveal the soul of the wine.
