The soy-sauce and savory aromas really make this stand out, but behind it are some very nice fruit and elegant tannins. This is a very well-made modern Pomerol with a lot of potential that needs some time to reveal its full class. Give it five or six years of bottle age. (JamesSuckling)

The 2014 Gazin was stubborn and broody when tasted in bottle, but give it a few swirls and there comes forth gravel and black truffle scents alongside sultry black fruit. These aromatics are so engaging and involving, drawing you in towards it charms. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and taut with great precision and sappiness towards the focused, almost symmetrical, black truffle-laced finish. This continues Gazin's fine run of form, a great Pomerol from an estate predisposed these days to create sophisticated, classic wines. (RobertParker.com)
CH.GAZIN is located next to CH.PETRUS on the top of plateau, and sharing same terroir. Only PETRUS and GAZIN have pure heavy clay soil. It is not surprising, because half of the vineyard of CH.PETRUS used to be CH.GAZIN. In 1969, CH.GAZIN sold 5ha to CH.PETRUS.
If you are looking for classic, long-lived, massive, pure-Merlot from POMEROL, no doubt GAZIN is the best choice. It is not easy to approach this wine at an early stage, even Mr.Robert Parker Jr. admits that it is not easy to evaluate correctly young GAZIN, same as TROTANOY and PETRUS. For this kind of long-life backward Pomerol, we have to be patient. And great experiences are promised after patience.
Château GAZIN's vineyard covers an area of 26 hectares, in a single holding, on the upper terrace of the Pomerol terroir. The terroir at Château Gazin consists of Gunzian gravel on the surface and a subsoil of blue and green clay with iron oxides (iron residues). As is characteristic of great terroirs, these clays (smectites) ensure that the vines have a reasonably stable supply of water. Château GAZIN's terroir essentially consists of the clay-gravel subsoil of the Pomerol plateau.
The vineyard is planted with 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. The average age of the vines is 35 years. The vines are planted with a density of 5,500 to 7,000 per hectare.
