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.
Volnay Premier Cru 'Les Brouillards', Domaine de Montille 2023
The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. For reds, comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
