Tasting Notes

Tasted at a vertical at the property, the 2004 displays greater delineation and freshness on the nose compared to the 2004, with ripe blackberry, briary, graphite and a touch of crushed stone, rendering it almost Left Bank in style. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe red-berried fruits on the entry, strict and quite penetrating tannins with that graphite element coming back on the tangy, cracked black pepper finish. This is very classic in style and drinking beautifully now. Tasted June 2011.

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 July 2013

A tiny production of only 343 cases (as opposed to 600+) were produced from this 7.5-acre vineyard located in the heart of Pomerol’s famed plateau. The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2004 La Fleur de Gay offers raspberry, blueberry, floral, graphite, and toasty oak characteristics, medium to full body, beautiful richness and purity, and a nicely layered texture. With low acidity, outstanding concentration, and a long finish, this beauty should age effortlessly for 12-15 years.

Lots of crushed berries on the nose, with just a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and velvety, slightly austere, tannins. A bit hollow midpalate, but lots going on. Best after 2010.
