So much black mushroom to the dark fruit, such as blackberries and brambleberries. Extremely aromatic. Full-bodied, yet refined and polished, with lovely tannins and fantastic typicity and complexity. It’s so...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, March 2023

Full-bodied, concentrated, powerful, and rich, this beauty pops with licorice, smoke, flowers, roses, espresso, plums and chocolate in the nose. The wine is bold, intense and at the moment, slightly reticent, so give it a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2021

(94 - 96+ points) Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Le Gay erupts from the glass with scents of molten licorice and dark chocolate, giving way to a tantalizing core of baked black cherries, prunes and blackberry...

Vinous, February 2023

The 2020 Le Gay was an impressive Pomerol when tasted from barrel. Now, in bottle, it has a wonderful, exquisitely-defined bouquet with perfumed blackberry and briary, incense and light pencil lead aromas. It's quite...

Decanter, January 2023

Coiled with tension and focus. The elements feel well worked with an appealing, grainy grip to the tannins, dark fruit and perfumed nuances. Feels really quite glamorous and heady. Structured and concentrated no doubt...

A surprisingly up-front, soft, almost mid-weight effort from this château, the 2020 Château Le Gay offers a pretty perfume of both red and black fruits as well as loads of flowers, spice, leafy herbs, and incense...

Vinous, February 2023

The 2020 Le Gay is rich and expansive on the palate. Gorgeous, savory notes add complexity to a core of black cherry fruit. This lush, extravagantly ripe Pomerol is not at all subtle, and yet all the elements are very...

The 2020 Chateau Le Gay Pomerol is a Bordeaux blend from the renowned Pomerol sub-region in Bordeaux, France. This red wine, produced by Chateau Le Gay, has garnered significant attention from wine critics for its distinctive qualities and potential for aging.

James Suckling, with an impressive score of 98, praises the wine for its "extremely aromatic" profile with notes of "black mushroom to the dark fruit, such as blackberries and brambleberries." He describes it as "full-bodied, yet refined and polished," highlighting its "fantastic typicity and complexity." Suckling recommends enjoying this "thought-provoking and sophisticated" wine after 2028.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also commends the wine, awarding it between 94 to 96+ points. The review describes it as "deep purple-black colored" with "scents of molten licorice and dark chocolate," and a "tantalizing core of baked black cherries, prunes, and blackberry preserves." The wine is noted for its "rich and decadent" palate with "layers of black fruits and exotic spices."

Jeff Leve from The Wine Cellar Insider gives a score of 96 and emphasizes its "full-bodied, concentrated, powerful, and rich" characteristics. He suggests that the wine will benefit from a few years in the cellar, rewarding patience with "layers of ripe, sweet, earthy plums, blackberries, black cherries, truffle and chocolate."

Vinous reviews the wine twice. Neal Martin describes it as having a "wonderful, exquisitely-defined bouquet" and a "medium-bodied" palate with "grainy tannins," while Antonio Galloni highlights its "rich and expansive" nature with "savory notes" and a "potent finish."

Other reviewers, like Decanter and Jeb Dunnuck, commend the wine for its elegance, balance, and potential for evolution. The 2020 Chateau Le Gay Pomerol promises to be a rewarding choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
