Chateau Le Gay Pomerol

2012 Vintage-  2012 was a challenging vintage in Bordeaux. But many winemakers in Pomerol, the appellation located within Bordeaux’s Right Bank, were able to produce wines of depth, complexity, and character. Like the rest of Bordeaux, Pomerol experienced chaotic weather in 2012. The spring was unpredictable and the summer brought heat and drought. Fortunately, the soils of Pomerol were able to hold on to moisture — and most producers were able to harvest their grapes just before rain showers hit in late September and early October. So the yields were naturally low. And the grapes produced wines of beautiful concentration and complexity.
