Château Le Gay

Château le Gay, owned by the Robin sisters for sixty years, produced a wine known to the most discerning connoisseurs on 8 hectares of land. Thérèse and Marie Robin were held in high esteem by all the inhabitants of Pomerol, in the Bordeaux region, and upheld their father's motto: "Quality over quantity." After establishing herself in the Pomerol appellation with the acquisition of Château Montviel, Catherine Péré-Vergé quickly demonstrated her ambition to become a major player, deciding to take over one of the leading vineyards in Pomerol and ultimately choosing the prestigious Château le Gay, neighbor to Petrus...

Located on the Pomerol plateau, the Château le Gay estate covers a single block of 10.5 hectares of cultivated land. The vineyard consists of vines that are over 50 years old. They grow on clay-limestone gravel soil. The grape varieties used in the blend of Château le Gay wines are 35% Cabernet, combining power and suppleness, and 65% Merlot. Catherine Péré-Vergé has always called on her friend Michel Rolland to vinify her wines. For this oenologist, vinifying a great wine means treating it with the utmost care and bringing out the qualities of the grapes, and thus the expression of the terroir.
