Wine Advocate (91)Deep garnet in color, the 2010 La Croix de Gay gives up notes of new leather, warm blackberries and black cherry compote with wafts of menthol, chocolate box and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a muscular core of black fruits with a solid line of chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on an invigorating herbal note. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2016 La Croix de Gay has an appealing bouquet featuring plenty of dusky black fruit laced with espresso and light tertiary aromas. This could only be from Pomerol, though it is less floral than before. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a fine bead of acidity and a judicious touch of black pepper sprinkled over the finish. Lovely for those seeking a more “restrained” Pomerol. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (89)The 2020 La Croix de Gay is a potent, brooding wine. A blast of dark cherry fruit, dried herbs, menthol, licorice, game and smoke adds to an impression of somber, virile intensity. Powerful, sinewy tannins are pretty dominant. It will be interesting to see if this softens with time. Today, it is a brute. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (83-85)The 2021 La Croix de Gay did show some reduction on three samples tasted, and yet underneath, I feel there is some underripeness. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins, and rather hard for a Pomerol, with an austere, bitter finish. I re-tasted this from two further bottles, hoping to find a more promising wine, but they simply reaffirmed my initial finding. |

In the realm of fine clarets, La Fleur de Gay 2013 is indeed a prized gem, enchanting discerning connoisseurs. Hailing from the historic Pomerol region in Bordeaux, France, it enthuses persistent allure synonymous with its iconic lineage. A single-estate wine, it boasts an exceptional pedigree, produced meticulously by the Chateau Lafleur estate. Devotion to tradition is evident, with selective hand-picking and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. This practice ensures each bottle inherits the distinctive excellence Chateau Lafleur is renowned for. La Fleur de Gay 2013 greets with its intense ruby hue, unfolding a symphony of black cherry, blackcurrant, and licorice, culminating with refined cocoa notes. This Merlot blend reveals profound depth and complexity on the palate, beautifully structured tannins paving the way for a lingering finish. Coupled with masterful maturation, optimal weather conditions in 2013 have rendered this vintage unparalleled— a living testament to the region’s prime terroirs and the estate’s exquisite winemaking prowess. |

Wine Advocate (92)The 2014 La Fleur de Gay has much more complexity on the nose compared to its peers with intense blackberry, black truffle and smoke aromas emerging from the glass in orderly fashion. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin. There is still a layer of new oak to wade through at the moment, but there is certainly substance to soak that up with time. This is a more muscular La Fleur de Gay than previous vintages: structured with a firm backbone, but it will mellow and soften for those that will afford it requisite bottle age. One to watch. |

Dark cherry jam, mocha, espresso, blood orange and rose petal give the 2016 an exotic quality that is hugely appealing, while beams of supporting tannin provide the framework. In the glass, the 2016 is rich, dense and remarkably vivid, all of which make it absolutely compelling. This is a fabulous showing. |
