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.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Plenty of blackberry, chocolate, citrus wood and black tea on the palate. It’s full and juicy with focused fruit and a long, flavorful finish in a sophisticated way. This will age beautifully, because of the balance and integration. Refined.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Big, rich and layered with dense black fruits and solid tannins, this wine is succulent with juicy acidity as well as firm with a dry core that is holding the wine together.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Ripe, fleshy and forward, this manages some succulence to the mix of raspberry and blackberry compote flavors. The slightly rustic finish reveals generous singed tobacco and warm earth accents. Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2020 La Croix de Gay has turned out very nicely, exhibiting aromas of cherries, berries and plums mingled with hints of dried herbs and espresso roast. Medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit underpinned by sweet, powdery tannins, it concludes with a touch of youthful grip, but it's extroverted enough to be approached young.
