Winemaker Notes 

The 2008 vintage of Château Gazin only produced 51,000 bottles of wine made with 92% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. It has a dark bordeaux colour. Still quite closed, the wine presents a bouquet of blackcurrants and blackberries. It is long and smooth on the palate beautiful finish which ends with notes of cocoa. To develop all its flavours, the 2008 will need about ten years. It will certainly keep for 20 to 30 yea consumption is possible provided it is decanted (and left in the decanter) two or three hours before drinking

About Winery

The Chateau Gazin vineyards cover 64.2 acres in a single lot, with 56.8 acres under vines, located on the renowned clay-gravel plateau of Pomerol. The estate can produce up to 100,000 bottles a year. A second AOC Pomerol wine "l’Hospitalet de Gazin", was created in 1986 in order to reserve the best of the harvest for Chateau Gazin.

The grapes are fermented in small cement vats. The wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels (50% new) according to the Bordeaux tradition: malolactic fermentation in casks, rackings to separate the fine wine from the lees, fining with egg whites and, if necessary, light filtration.

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Gazin’s 2008, a structured, masculine style of Pomerol, reveals a dense plum/purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of licorice, mocha, black currants, plums and Asian spices. Firm, dense and full-bodied with stunning concentration, it represents a hypothetical blend of its two near-by neighbors, Lafleur and Petrus. Congratulations to Gazin on another fabulous effort that still seems to be under most consumers’ radar. The 2008 should drink well for 20-25 years. (RP)
