Chateau Le Gay is one of the Pomerol appellation’s rising stars thanks to the vision of Catherine Pere-Verge who bought the property for $25 million back in 2002. At the time of purchase the chateau had been underperforming for many years, and one of the Pere-Verge family’s first decisions was to increase their vineyard holdings by planting an extra 3.4 hectares on land not being used for vine growing.
In 2014 the property passed to Catherine’s son, Henri Parent, who completely renovated the winemaking facilities to create space for more barrels. This has enabled the chateau to focus on verifying each parcel of vines separately and conducting micro-vinifications to give more control and greater quality in their wines.
Manoir de Gay is the estate’s second wine which is produced from their younger Merlot vines, plus a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. The yields are kept very low and the winemakers use micro-vinification to create a perfectly-balanced cuvee which accurately reflects the terroir and the character of the vintage. It’s a remarkably accessible wine even in its youth, with luscious dark fruit notes and smooth tannins, although it can also be kept for at least another decade or so.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
