Lots of cedar, tea-leaf and hazelnut character and ripe fruit aromas. Citrus peel, too. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Smoky undertone. This is structured and so complex. Drink in 2023. (JamesSuckling)

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Gazin is scented of baked plums, Christmas cake, mincemeat and plum preserves with hints of chocolate box, coffee, tapenade and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied with mouth-filling baked berries and savory layers, it has firm, chewy tannins and a long finish. (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.
