A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc from this well-situated vineyard on the plateau of Pomerol which is owned by Chantal Lebreton this wine has 13.5% alcohol somewhat low in this vintage but it displays plenty of kirsch sweet cherries and red currants along with some sandy/loamy soil and roasted herb notes in a very sexy up-front lush medium to full-bodied style. There's not a hard edge to be found in this La Croix de Gay and therefore my feeling is that it should be drunk in its first 10-12 years of life.
