2008 | Chateau Gazin | Chateau Gazin

A wine for the long-term. It has dark tannins, powerful fruit, with some extraction. The density is the power here, firm, solid, very tough at this stage.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Gazin’s 2008, a structured, masculine style of Pomerol, reveals a dense plum/purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of licorice, mocha, black currants, plums and Asian spices. Firm, dense and full-bodied with stunning concentration, it represents a hypothetical blend of its two near-by neighbors, Lafleur and Petrus. Congratulations to Gazin on another fabulous effort that still seems to be under most consumers’ radar.

• James Suckling: Toasty, smoky aromas and flavors frame fig and currant fruit flavors that are dense on the palate, supported by full tannins. Notes of mineral and dark chocolate emerge on the finish. A big wine with focus and depth.

Producer Information

Château Gazin is Bordeaux wine producer, located on the right bank of the river Gironde in Pomerol. The wines are focused on Merlot which is sourced from the estate vineyard. The Grand Vin of Château Gazin is produced with 85 to 95-percent Merlot, depending on the vintage. The other varieties are usually Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is aged for 18 months in 50 percent new French oak barrels and reaches its prime after 10 to 15 years in the cellar. The second wine, L'Hospitalet de Gazin is homage to a Santiago de Compostela pilgrim hospital that orginally exsisted on the site. It's inaugural vintage was in 1986. In the winery, fermentation of each wine occurs in small concrete vats. Grape varieties are vinified seperately and components are only blended together after the fermentation is complete. The 26-hectare (64-acre) vineyard is planted on one of the highest plateaus in the region. The vines, which are on average 35 years old, are planted on Gunizan gravel topsoils with the subsoil interspersed with iron oxide.
