Château La Croix de Gay
Château La Croix de Gay is a prestigious winery in the Pomerol appellation, a renowned wine-growing region in Bordeaux, France. Located on the right bank of the Dordogne River, the estate is known for its high-quality red wines made from the traditional Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties.
The history of Château La Croix de Gay stretches back a long way and is closely linked to the Reynaud family, who own and manage the estate. The vineyards cover approximately 12 hectares and are located in one of Pomerol's best terroirs. The soils are predominantly gravelly clay, particularly well-suited to the cultivation of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
The wines of Château La Croix de Gay are distinguished by their elegance, finesse, and structure. They offer complex aromas of dark fruits such as cherries and blackcurrants, accompanied by spicy notes, tobacco, and a subtle mineral note. The tannins are finely structured and well-integrated, giving the wines remarkable balance and long aging potential.
Winemaking at Château La Croix de Gay is carried out with great care and respect for tradition. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified in small batches to best preserve the purity of the fruit and the characteristics of the terroir.
