Château Le Prieuré, nestled in the revered Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, is celebrated for crafting wines of exceptional quality and character. This esteemed estate, with a history dating back to the Middle Ages, boasts 7 hectares of meticulously tended vineyards.
Bright and vivid with crunchy fruit and lightly powdery tannins. Medium-bodied and savoury. The tannins are very polished and fine.
Antonio Galloni - Vinous: 91-94/100
The 2023 Vray Croix de Gay is a classy, elegant wine. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha, liquorice and sweet spice are nicely pushed forward. Pretty floral overtones lift the finish. This succulent, racy Pomerol is all sensuality and understatement.
William Kelley - Wine Advocate: 91-93/100
The 2023 Vray Croix de Gay is charming and velvety, bursting with aromas of petals, plums, orange zest and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and layered, its suave, vibrant profile reflects the choice to pick comparatively early, beginning on September 5.
Georgie Hindle - Decanter: 93/100
Bramble bushes and freshly picked black summer berries with some dark chocolate elements. A little dark and sticky, quite savoury and toasted but not from the oak, some bitter coffee and liquorice elements with warming blackcurrant and black cherry fruit. Smooth and streamlined, this has a lovely precise and fresh element to the fruit, clean and crystalline. It’s not so plush, more linear, but it doesn’t feel like it’s missing any concentration or power.
