Chateau La Croix de Gay 1988

Chateau La Croix de Gay has a long history in the Pomerol appellation. But the Raynaud-Lebreton that own the vineyard has an even longer history in Bordeaux dating back to 1477! The estate dates back to at least the mid 1800's as wine was produced from the vineyard in 1772. Chateau La Croix de Gay was one of the first Pomerol properties to bottle at least some of their production at the estate. This took place in the mid to late 1800's! From that point forward, through small purchases from other vineyards, La Croix de Gay slowly grew in size. However, the modern era for Chateau La Croix de Gay begins in the late 1960's, when the owners obtained land that was being used for the production of Pignon de Gay.
