In charge of Château La Croix de Gay since the 1947 vintage, Noël Raynaud had the intuition of the exceptional potential of three of his parcels located on very different terroirs but among the most qualitative of the "high terrace" of Pomerol. So in 1982, from these parcels (2 hectares), he decided to create Château La Fleur de Gay, combining the Burgundian idea of "climats", of an exceptional individuality of each of these three terroirs, with the Bordeaux culture of blending.
