Characteristics and tasting advice for Château Gazin 2018

Tasting

This Château Gazin 2018 stands out for its freshness, elegant power and ripe tannins that offer a persistent volume in the mouth. As the tasting unfolds, aromas of red, black and floral fruits are revealed, enriched by woody notes evolving towards increased complexity with aging.

The vivacity and fruitiness of a Pomerol red wine

The property

Testifying to very ancient origins, the Château Gazin was acquired in 1917 by Louis Soualle, great-grandfather of the current owners, the De Bailliencourt dit Courcol family.

The vineyard

An essential reference among the wines of Pomerol, Château Gazin oversees a superb 26-hectare vineyard located on the high terrace of the clay-gravelly terroir of this famous right bank appellation in the Bordeaux region.

The vintage

Despite a hot summer, heavy spring rains and the clayey subsoil prevented a water deficit. The water stress, optimal for merlots and cabernet franc, set in gradually, thus allowing early maturity thanks to an anticipated bud burst and good disease control.

Vinification and aging

Aging in barrels (50% new).

Blend

Merlot (93%)
Cabernet franc (7%).
