Its grand vin, like many others in the appellation, is made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. As the name suggests, the 8.5-hectare (21-acre) vineyard is located between Château Lafleur and Château Gazin. Most of the vineyard has the gravel soils that are typical of the top of the Pomerol plateau, and sandier soils on the slopes down towards the Barbanne stream. Lafleur-Gazin's vineyard is planted 80 percent to Merlot with the remainder made up of Cabernet Franc. The proportions in the final wine may vary by some distance from this – the 2015 vintage contained just two percent Cabernet Franc. Grapes are sorted in the winery using two laser sorting tables, and fermented in a combination of concrete and stainless steel tanks, all thermoregulated. Lafleur-Gazin uses vertical basket presses, with press wines added back to the blend during maturation. The wine is aged for 18-20 months in French oak barrels, with 25 percent new wood. It is racked three or four times during maturation and fined with egg whites before bottling. Château Lafleur-Gazin is owned by the Borderie family, but since 1976 has been under a long term rental agreement with Jean-Pierre Moueix Vins, which farms the property and produces and markets the wines.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-08T13:56:21-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-02T15:50:42-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK0102","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Chateau Lafleur Gazin","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":149500,"price_min":149500,"price_max":149500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42759303135370,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2017 | Chateau Lafleur Gazin | Pomerol 6L","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":149500,"weight":97976,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/68_5b027d9c-1d68-4908-b49c-c4b506427b59.jpg?v=1675371062"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/68_5b027d9c-1d68-4908-b49c-c4b506427b59.jpg?v=1675371062","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2017 | Chateau Lafleur Gazin | Pomerol 6L at CaskCartel.com","id":24139335827594,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/68_5b027d9c-1d68-4908-b49c-c4b506427b59.jpg?v=1675371062"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/68_5b027d9c-1d68-4908-b49c-c4b506427b59.jpg?v=1675371062","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2017 | Chateau Lafleur Gazin | Pomerol 6L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dense, structured red with plums and currants and hints of cedar and chocolate powder.
