This second wine of Le Gay is a rarity in the marketplace. The 2010 Manoir de Gay is round and plump, with muscular black fruits intermixed with hints of damp earth and forest floor. The tannins are silky and the acid low, so this is best drunk over the next 5-8 years. This tiny gem of a property has been pushing the quality envelope aggressively since it was purchased by proprietress Catherine Pere-Verge in 2004, and it has hit pay dirt in 2010.
