Pomerol, Bordeaux Readers should take note of the dramatic jump in quality at Le Gay under the relatively new proprietor, Madame Pere-Verge.

Chateau Rouget 2000 - Bordeaux
Pomerol Bordeaux The finest Rouget since the mid-sixties (i.e., 1964), this dense plum/ruby-colored 2000 offers aromas and flavors of licorice, balsam wood, plums, black cherry liqueur, and raspberries presented in a full-bodied, plump, chewy format. The flamboyant aromatics are followed by an equally impressive, lush attack, but serious tannin appears in the finish of this meaty, full-bodied Pomerol. With wines like this, it is time to rediscover Rouget. Kudos! Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018. - Rated 90, Robert Parker Very grapey, with violet, lilac and other flowers on the nose. This is full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a superripe, raisiny aftertaste. Modern and jazzy. Full throttle red from a château that people forget about. Best after 2008. 3,330 cases made. –JS - Rated 92, Wine Spectator
Chateau Bourgneuf 2000 - Bordeaux
Pomerol, Bordeaux Dense ruby/purple, with an attractive, broad, plump nose of plums, raisins, prunes, black cherries, and some dusty earth notes, well-made, medium to full-bodied, with considerable corpulence, flesh, and structure, this is a denser, slightly more tannic wine than the 2001, but big, burly, and showing more finesse than it did prior to bottling. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. - Rated 89, Robert Parker Chunky red, with lots of heart. Fantastic aromas of chocolate, berry and licorice. Full-bodied, with firm, silky tannins and a long, mouthpuckering finish. A muscular red. Best after 2010. - Rated 92, Wine Spectator
