Château Le Gay 2004 – Bold Bordeaux Red Blend from Pomerol

Bordeaux With Bite

Pomerol, Bordeaux 🇫🇷 | Merlot + Cabernet Franc | 93 pts Robert Parker | Old-School Power Meets Modern Pleasure

Don’t let the name fool you — Château Le Gay 2004 is straight-up seductive. Bold. Refined. Dangerous in the best way. This Right Bank beauty blends Merlot’s lush charm with Cabernet Franc’s edgy backbone, serving up a Bordeaux that walks the line between velvet and steel.

With 93 points from Parker and a flavor profile that reads like a black velvet novel — camphor, graphite, roasted meat, dark berries, and spice — this is the underdog of the vintage that came to flex. Think less mainstream, more insider cult legend.

🍷 What It Tastes Like:

• Color: Deep ruby with garnet whispers — mature, moody, magnetic.

• Nose: Blackberry, plum, cedar box, roasted meat, and a flirt of tobacco.

• Palate: Dark fruit, graphite, rich tannins, and that unmistakable “serious Bordeaux” structure — but smooth AF.

• Finish: Long, layered, and just a little dangerous — with chocolate and spice that won’t quit.

🍽 Pair It With:

• Carnivore Core: Grilled ribeye, filet, short ribs — it thrives on richness.

• Aged Cheese, Obviously: Funky blues or a wedge of aged Gouda for a silky, smoky finish.

• Earthy Veg Energy: Mushroom risotto, charred eggplant, balsamic anything — because this wine deserves flavor.
