Owner's words
The Gay 2023 seduces with its finesse, floral elegance and lovely freshness. The palate is silky, precise and balanced, with fine tannins and controlled density. Aromas combine black fruits, violets, a touch of salt, truffles, sweet spices and the iron minerality typical of the estate. Less massive than 2022 but just as intense, it gains in subtlety and complexity. Accessible young, it has real ageing potential. A racy, harmonious and highly successful wine, unanimously acclaimed by the trade press.
