WINE DESCRIPTION
L'Enchanteur de Vray Croix de Gay is a captivating second wine from the esteemed Château Vray Croix de Gay in the heart of Pomerol. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it showcases a round, fruit-forward style with a softer, more approachable character compared to the château’s first wine. Aged for up to 14 months in French oak barrels, one-third of which are new, it benefits from a medium toast that adds subtle complexity without overpowering the fruit. This elegant and refined wine embodies the charm of the Pomerol appellation, offering a delightful introduction to the château's celebrated winemaking tradition.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
L'Enchanteur de Vray Croix de Gay delights with vibrant aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and hints of violet, complemented by subtle notes of cedar and baking spices.On the palate, it is silky and medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a balanced acidity, leading to a smooth, fruit-driven finish.
This versatile wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled lamb chops, or creamy mushroom risotto. Its approachable character also complements charcuterie boards, aged cheeses like Comté or Gouda, and hearty pasta dishes such as wild mushroom tagliatelle, making it a perfect companion for a variety of meals.
