Chateau Le Gay是法國波爾多Pomerol村的一家知名酒莊，它和另一家著名的Ch. Lafleur在18世紀時都同屬一個大莊園Le Manoir de Gay的一部分，後來1872年一個Greloud家族買下這個大莊園，並分給兒子們才分開成Le Gay和La Fleur。幾經波折，1946年一對姐妹Thérèse和Marie Robin又同時繼承了Le Gay和La Fleur；她們終生未嫁，將一生的心力全都投注這兩家酒莊上，在她們的手上經營了這兩家酒莊60多年！
One of the top successes of the vintage, the 2008 Le Gay, a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc (13.5% alcohol) was produced from tiny yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it exhibits a dense purple color as well as a sweet nose of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries, blackberries, dark raspberries, crushed rocks and white chocolate. Full-bodied, super intense and extremely promising (although it is unusually backward for a 2008), it will benefit from 5-7 years of cellaring and may merit an even higher score in a decade or so. It should last for 30+ years, making it one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage.
