Convinced that \"vinification intégrale\" fermentation enhances quality, Henri Parent began renovating the Château Le Gay cellar in 2014 (despite its recent renovation in 2003) in order to control the temperature of the 250 barrels during the cold maceration process, as well aw during their fermentation process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, still fervently driven by pursuing quality, we use other techniques such as harvesting in several passes, creating smaller plots within some non-uniform plots and favoring cold maceration methods. Each vine is known and recorded. The vineyards are primarily planted with 90% Merlot, although the proportion of Cabernet Franc should increase a little in the net few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing is left to chance to ensure that Château Le Gay keeps progressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entity entity-field-collection-item field-collection-item-field-chateau-chiffres clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-cf-label field-type-text field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003eVineyard : 10,5 hectares \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entity entity-field-collection-item field-collection-item-field-chateau-chiffres clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-cf-label field-type-text field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003eSoil : Pomerol, gravel and clay \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item odd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entity entity-field-collection-item field-collection-item-field-chateau-chiffres clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-cf-label field-type-text field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003eGrape varieties : 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entity entity-field-collection-item field-collection-item-field-chateau-chiffres clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-cf-label field-type-text field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003eBarrel ageing : 18 months in new barrels \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003eProduction : 23 000 bottles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Château le Gay","offers":[{"title":"Chateau Le Gay Pomerol","offer_id":47012088447209,"sku":"MOW-FR-BDX-LEGAYPOM-2020","price":188.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7626\/0585\/files\/LeGay.png?v=1712914769"},{"product_id":"chateau-soutard-saint-emilion-grand-cru-classe-2020","title":"Chateau Soutard, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2020","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"chateau-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Soutard opens with the most gorgeous perfume of rose petals, lavender, kirsch and raspberry leaves, followed by a core of preserved plums and ripe blackberries, plus emerging suggestions of clove oil and mandarin peel.
