What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Château Le Gay 2000 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2000 red wine made from Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
Typical grape profile: Cabernet Franc — Red fruit with a signature herbaceous, peppery edge; Merlot — Plum, black cherry, chocolate; softer and rounder than Cabernet Sauvignon. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Cabernet Franc and Merlot growing profiles. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
Official US label evidence
Historical Texas label approval
4 official label approvals have the same normalised product name as this BottlePicker record. These approvals pre-date September 2021 and help check identity, stated ABV and the responsible trade name; they do not prove that the current bottle has the same formula, remains registered or is available in Texas.

Matched by exact normalised product name; no label artwork is copied. Source: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission approved labels (opens in a new tab) via the Texas Open Data Portal. The portal does not specify a reuse licence for third-party label artwork, so BottlePicker links to the official PDF and publishes attributed factual extraction only. No state endorsement is implied.
Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
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.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
