Château Le GayPomerol 1982
About this product
From the magnificent 1982 vintage, the lovely Pomerol with all it's Merlot richness is ready to be opened. While close to 30 years old, it's has the freshness and ripeness you would expect from a much younger wine. This is reason why we love Right Bank Bordeaux.

Made by the same team that produced the perfect 1982 Lafleur, this wine had been forgotten in my cellar. While it’s clear that the new owner, Catherine Pere-Verge, has made some amazing wines since 2005 (especially the 2008), the 1982 is a wine for the ages. Still an inky/purple color, it boasts an extraordinary perfume of spring flowers intermixed with black raspberries, truffles, and kirsch. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, the wine remains extremely young, but the sweetness of the tannins and the sensational fruit concentration make for a remarkable wine that should evolve for another 30+ years.
