Weinbeschreibung
Die Diskrepanz der Bewertungen kann ich mir nur mit Projektionen der Ablehung der persönlich nicht eben leicht zu begegnenden Winzerin erklären. Le Gay 2009 ist der günstigste potentiell perfekte Pomerol aus diesem Traumjahr!

Robert Parker:"I tasted this wine three times, and while Michel Rolland thinks it is the finest Le Gay yet made, I must disagree. For now, I think it comes in behind the 2008 and 2005. There is no question it is an outstanding wine, but I feel it lacks the concentration and intensity that put both the 2008 and 2005 in the superstar category. Yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare were extremely low, and the final blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc achieved 13.5% natural alcohol. A dark ruby (but not opaque) color is followed by aromas of sweet raspberries and black currants with dusty, earthy, loamy soil notes in the background. The wine is medium to full-bodied and rich, but much lighter and less intense than I expected given the vintage conditions. Three separate tastings over the course of 12 days were inconsistent. (Tasted three times.)"

"Sattes Purpur-Granat. Reiches Bouquet, Kirschtöne, getrocknete Preiselbeeren, heller Tabak, ein Hauch getrocknete Kamille und feine Kräuter. Am Gaumen füllig, recht weiche Konturen, wirkt plötzlich eher klassisch vinifiziert und zeigt im Finale vom Extrakt her rote gekochte Kirschen und Milchkaffee, Stielwürznoten und etwas Trüffel. Sicherlich ein grosser Wein, der sich aber erst noch finden muss. Potenzial satt hat er."

"A real explosion of aroma and flavour. Burgundian red fruit nuance. Good depth of succulent fruit. Silky, suave tannins. Persistent and long. Drink 2016-2028."

"Blueberry, sea shell and blackberry aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins, yet polished and cool, with a long, racy finish. Dense, with a solid core of everything. 93-96 Punkte -J.S"
"Dark crimson. Very gamey and ambitious with amazingly soft tannins. This one virtually crawls towards the consumer asking them to love it. Interesting chalky finish. Some freshness. Pretty damned good! But for early consumption."

"Structuré, profond et dense. Sans lextrême précision de son voisin Lafleur, et dune dimension peut-être moins complète que Pétrus mais un esprit finalement très proche et dans une plénitude de constitution absolument remarquable."
"Structured, profound and dense. Lacking the extreme precision of its neighbour Lafleur, and slightly less complete than Pétrus, but with similar characteristics, and a remarkably sumptuous core." Quelle: "TOP 2009 BORDEAUX RATINGS"
"Tasted at Chateau Le Gay. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, picked 26th , 29th September with the Cabernet Franc picked on the 7th or 8th October. The 09 Le Gay has a ripe, blackcurrant, briary, limestone tinged bouquet with very fine definition, opening up nicely with aeration with hint of orange sorbet and apricot. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly chalky tannins, very fresh and well defined with a beguiling sense of symmetry and focus towards the precise finish. Very assured, but so tightly-wound at the moment. You know, I might prefer this to La Violette. Tasted April 2010."
