Chateau Gazin

Case Format: 75cl

Drink To: 2021-2034

Built upon the ruins of the 12th century Hôpital de Pomeyrols, Château Gazin is steeped in history, which is imbued into this classic Pomerol wine. A 26-hectare winery, its vineyards contain Merlot (c.80%), Cabernet Franc (c.15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.5%). At Gazin they carry the harvest out by hand, before maturing the wine in 50% new oak barrels for eighteen months, and it is the contact between the fine lees and the oak tannins that see the structural complexity of this wine take form. Neighbouring the estates of L’Evangile and Pétrus may seem like stiff competition, but in turn, Gazin benefits from the exceptional Pomerol terroir, which comprises of a clay-gravel sub-soil. The result? A nose teeming with potent aromas, whose full-bodied palate is crammed with juicy red and black fruit flavours.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Gazin has a beautifully fragrant nose of potpourri, chocolate-covered cherries and spiced mulberries with a core of warm plums and cherry cordial plus a waft of wild blueberries. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy.

Tasted blind. The nose is very awkward at this stage, with a green, tinned-pea note. It is hard to discern exactly why this is, but it is fairly consistent from two bottles opened. Quite silky and well-structured on the palate but the fruit profile is still somewhat jarring as on the nose. The finish is cedary, driven and shows some juicy fruit. (TP)
