Vinification and Terroir:
Château Le Gay is celebrated for its meticulous approach to winemaking, with a focus on expressing the unique characteristics of its terroir.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerfully structured, with layers of dark fruit intertwined with notes of cedar, spice, and earth. The finish is long and mesmerizing, marked by velvety tannins and a persistent minerality.
