97 Points

"The 2019 has a beguiling bouquet with red berry fruit, truffle and light Provençal herb scents that are beautifully defined. This is exquisite in terms of balance, silky smooth, building gradually with a harmonious and quite effortless finish. Divine - this is a stellar showing." Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Chateau Gazin Description

Perched on a high terrace of the Pomerol plateau, Chateau Gazin is a family owned and operated estate producing sumptuous, seductive, silky-smooth wines that have become synonymous with the excellence of their appellation. Located on the north-eastern part of the Pomerol plateau, between Châteaux Petrus and Lafleur-Gazin, on a terroir of Gunzian gravel with a subsoil of blue and green clay with iron oxides, the vineyard is managed with an environmentally friendly approach: ploughing, organic fertilizers, minimum use of pesticides, mating disruption, manual harvests. It is indeed Pomerol’s remarkable terroir that allow Merlot to shine at its brightest, imbuing the wines of Chateau Gazin with complex aromas of jammy black fruit, licorice and mint, evolving truffles, undergrowth and well-worn, warm leather with age.

The 2019 has a beguiling bouquet with red berry fruit, truffle and light Provençal herb scents that are beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. This is exquisite in terms of balance, silky smooth, building gradually with a harmonious and quite effortless finish. Divine - this is a stellar showing. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

James Suckling: 95 Points

A perfumed nose of mulberries, plums, chocolate orange and cloves. Hints of toffee, too. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Caressing, velvety and rich core of dark fruit. So supple and polished. 88.5% merlot, 7% cabernet sauvignon and 4.5% cabernet franc. Drink after 2024.
