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.
Côte De Nuits-Villages, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils, (Magnum) 2021
Blink and you’d literally miss Domaine Jean Tardy, an envelope-sized sign by a driveway off the RN74 just outside Vosne Romanée the only indication that you are in the right place. Unprepossessing as this domaine looks, the wines continue to show plenty of personality and Guillaume does a particularly impressive line in vieilles vignes lieu dits (old vine, single vineyards), which allow him to “ avoid making a bad marriage between the wrong parcels ”. The results are always seductive and digestible and compete with premier crus for quality and complexity. Guillaume's Côte de Nuits-Villages 2021 is designed for relatively early consumption but has the potential to develop further complexity with a few years of aging. Proper cellaring will enhance its evolution and longevity.
