The main player is the great terroir of ancient ruby gravel with a subsoil of blue clay veined with the red ochre of iron oxides. The taste of the wine must be that of its origin.
95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc
Chateau La Croix de Gay Description
The winemaking and ageing processes must be gentle to accompanying the finest Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes towards the purest possible wine; constant care and restraint in the making to reach real purity not affected by human over intervention or inaction.

Editors’ Choice
This powerful, Merlot-dominated wine is densely textured and concentrated. Powerful, dark fruits are as intense as the tannins, offering huge richness. For contrast, fresher acidity shoots through the wine, adding to the ageworthy promise.
James Suckling: 94 Points
A rich, multilayered nose of dark fruit, mushrooms, earth and violets. Some black olives, too. Full-bodied with layers of ripe tannins that are polished and refined. The finish is persistent and beautiful. Creamy at the end.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 La Croix de Gay bursts into the room with rambunctious baked blueberries, Morello cherries, stewed plums and cedar chest scents plus hints of grilled meats, bay leaves, tar and fragrant soil. The full-bodied palate is generously fruited with herb sparks and black and blue fruit preserves, framed by velvety tannins, finishing long and earthy.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Enticing, with a mix of crushed plum and loganberry fruit that has good inner brightness, while racy anise, savory and mineral details fill in throughout. Good cut on the finish too. Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
