Tasting notes

Château La Fleur de Gay is a distinguished red wine from the Bordeaux region of France. Crafted by Château La Croix de Gay, it prominently features Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. The 2006 vintage is particularly esteemed, known for its exceptional quality within the Bordeaux lineup.

In Volume 21 of 'Drops of God', this wine is opened during a visit to Château La Croix de Gay. The characters describe the experience as akin to listening to a Bach organ concerto, evoking a sense of grandeur and complexity.

When you pour it into your glass, you're greeted with a deep ruby hue, with a slight orange rim indicative of its aging. The aroma is rich with notes of black cherry and cassis, accompanied by subtle hints of forest floor and dried herbs. On the palate, it's full-bodied, with powerful tannins that assert themselves while a rounded acidity ties everything together.

This wine is defined by its weighty and complex flavors, with an impressively long finish. Decanting it before serving can help unlock its full potential. I'd recommend enjoying it slowly in a large glass to truly appreciate its depth.
