History
Having been the property of the Robin Demoiselles for sixty years, the château produced on its 6 hectares a wine well known by the most demanding wine lovers. Thérèse and Marie Robin benefitted from a great respect amongst all of the inhabitants of Pomerol, and held high the motto of their father “Quality before Quantity”. Catherine Péré-Vergé had lived in Pomerol since 1985, where she provided all of the measure of her energy and her motivation by undertaking a vast investment project for her Chateau MONTVIEL property.
Since this establishment, the Vignobles Péré-Vergé manifested another ambition in Pomerol, they decided to invest in one of the premier domains and they finally chose Château Le Gay. In 2002, the cellar was entirely reconstructed, only retaining the inner courtyard and the two small lateral buildings, pigeon loft, at all times being the representative image of the property. The house, a belvedere over the most prestigious terroir in the world, becomes a place for meeting and reception, offering a 270° panoramic view on the hillsides of Lalande de Pomerol and on the Pomerol plateau (The chateaus La Fleur, Petrus, L’Evangile, Vieux Chateau Certan, and the church bell tower).
In 2014, the new constructions will permit the micro-vinification of 100% of the plots in new oak barrels. Yet another first in Pomerol! Each link in the winemaking value chain was conceived to allow, from the grape to the wine, the expression of the very best of themselves thanks to installations where the simplicity of the gestures respecting their quality in an original and functional architectural environment: a tool “par excellence” for this grand terroir of Pomerol.
