Beautiful photo of Chateau Gazin, one of the jewels of Pomerol.

Chateau Gazin

September 26, 2024

A house with a beautiful history on the Right Bank, Chateau Gazin Pomerol is an unclassified, property yet the estate is clearly one of the great properties in Pomerol. The estate has 26 hectares planted to nearly all Merlot (90%) with smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Annual production averages 8,000 cases of the Grand vin Château Gazin, and 2,000 cases of l'Hospitalet de Gazin.

Early in the 20th century the estate became the property of the Bailliencourt dit Courcols family. The current proprietors are Nicolas, Christophe, Laure et Inès de Bailliencourt dit Courcol, and Mickaël Obert serves as winemaker. I tasted their 2017 wine which was pure Pomerol with its earthy expression of soil. Learn more about this fabulous Bordeaux house at https://www.gazin.com/en/ and here is my review of the 2017 Chateau Gazin.

2017 Chateau Gazin- Rich, layered and full of soil character, the 2017 Gazin really needs a few hours of air to get going. Once on the nose this takes on layers of black truffle and damp earthy soils alongside shades of blackberry compote and espresso grounds. Medium to full-bodied, with fabulous underlying verve, make sure to decant this for several hours if enjoying now. Drink 2024-2042- 94
