Château Le Gay 2000
This is a mature, refined Pomerol from one of the classic estates of the Right Bank. Château Le Gay is a single-estate property of about 10.5 hectares, located on the Pomerol plateau. Its soils are a mix of clay and gravel, typical of the region. The estate was acquired by Catherine Péré-Vergé in the early 2000s and her son, Henri Parent, now oversees the estate. The cellar was modernised (including micro-vinification) to improve precision and parcel-by-parcel expression.
Château Pichon Baron 2006
The 2006 vintage of Château Pichon Baron is a classic Pauillac. Powerful, poised, and built to age gracefully, this has all the hallmarks of a great Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon. Château Pichon Baron, officially known as Château Pichon Longueville Baron, is one of Pauillac’s great Second Growths, classified in 1855. Established in the late 17th century, it sits just across the road from its famous neighbour Pichon Lalande. Under the ownership of AXA Millésimes since 1987 and the meticulous direction of Christian Seely, Pichon Baron has reasserted itself as one of the Médoc’s top estates, producing wines that combine intensity, precision, and remarkable ageing potential.
