This wine has a very composed bouquet with attractive, mineral-infused black and red fruit tinged with black truffle and sage. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle, almost understated opening, almost deceiving as it opens up and gains more and more depth towards the precise and sophisticated finish.
Best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Vray Croix de Gay is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
Vinous Review:
The 2016 Vray Croix de Gay is just as stunning from bottle as it was from barrel. Sensual, silky and super-refined, Vray Croix de Gay is positively stellar. A rush of inky red and purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender and spice lifts from the glass in a beautifully nuanced, sensual Pomerol. Today, the 2016 is sublime and also a touch more finessed than it was from barrel. That is what élevage is for, after all.
