Why We're Buying
Gaia & Rey comes from the heirs of Giacomo Conterno and ranks among the priciest wines from the Langhe region. It's the first wine the Gaja family released under its name. Deeply colored and with an intoxicating scent, it has grown in popularity among collectors and enthusiasts over the past few years.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Gaja 2018 Langhe Gaia & Rey is a beautifully pure Piemontese expression of Chardonnay. It opens to a light gold/straw color with brilliant luminosity. This vintage is delicate but determined, powerful but fragile all at the same time. The bouquet is shy to start off and requires (at this young stage when I tasted the wine) ample time to aerate. Once it unwinds, the wine offers fresh citrus, orchard fruit, toasted almond and spice. Only partial malolactic fermentation is completed, so the wine's energy and inner nerve is very much intact. Flint and mineral play important supporting roles.
