Château Gazin, situated in the prestigious Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, boasts a rich history dating back to the 18th century. The 2016 vintage is predominantly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, reflecting the typical Pomerol style of lush, velvet-textured wines. The terroir of Gazin, with its superb gravel soils over a subsoil rich in iron deposits, imparts a distinctive minerality and depth. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, 50% new, for 18 months, which adds layers of complexity, including subtle vanilla and toast. This wine has received notable accolades and is praised for its rich fruit profile and age-worthy balance.
