Château Gazin 2019

A great red wine from Pomerol by Château Gazin

The property

An essential reference of Pomerol, Château Gazin testifies to very ancient origins. In 1917, Château Gazin was acquired by Louis Soualle, the great-grandfather of the current owners, the De Bailliencourt dit Courcol family.

The vineyard

The superb 26-hectare vineyard is located on the high terrace of the clay-gravel terroir of Pomerol. Château Gazin is thus the largest of the crus of the famous appellation located on the right bank of the Bordeaux region.

The vintage

The mild winter led to early budding. In spring, the cool and rainy weather spared the vineyard from frosts. The vine cycle slowed down, indicating a year of average precocity. The very hot and dry summer accelerated the cycle, thus forming ripe fruits for the harvest. The vines resisted the heat thanks to the draining and cooling role of the clay.

Blend

Merlot (88.5%), cabernet franc (4.5%), cabernet sauvignon (7%).
