Tasting Notes

This is a good, easy drinking Pomerol – sexy, round, a little tight with oak notes that dominate the attack but soften into tarry chocolate richness. It’s gourmet, approachable and enjoyable - no need to wait too long but has a kick of freshness though the close of play. Vignobles Péré Vergé.

Score: 89

Still a bit tight, with a strong graphite layer holding the core of plum, fig and blackberry at bay for now. Dark licorice root, espresso and ganache flavors drive the finish, which has a muscular and still-chewy edge. Cellar short-term.

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2014-2022 31 March 2013

The Manoir de Gay has a crisp, well defined, rather bashful bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite 'strict' tannins, ample freshness and a precise but short finish. You’ll finish a bottle and want another.

This second wine of Le Gay is a rarity in the marketplace. The 2010 Manoir de Gay is round and plump, with muscular black fruits intermixed with hints of damp earth and forest floor. The tannins are silky and the acid low, so this is best drunk over the next 5-8 years.

Score: 88
