Château Gazin 2018

Red wine | Pomerol AC

Feminine, charming, due to the dominance of Merlot, the wines of Château Gazin are pleasant to taste after a few years of aging, but they are most often worth waiting fifteen, twenty years or more. Their sumptuous generosity offers a wide aromatic palette. The 2018 vintage is the 100th vintage produced by the Bailliencourt family on this land of Pomerol.

Yves Beck

Superb bouquet perfectly combining the freshness of red berries and the charm of 2018. Notes of cherries, blackberries and cocoa beans but also a chalky touch. Fresh and keen character in attack. The wine has precise, compact tannins and good tension. Freshness is therefore essential and welcome in the rather charming style of the vintage. Fruity and persistent finish. A great success. 2025-2044.

James Suckling

Rich aromas of blueberries, ripe black cherries, chocolate and sandalwood. It's full-bodied with firm, well integrated and rounded tannins. Solid depth of fruit here. Creamy and polished. Better after 2024.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Gazin (a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc) leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of warm plums, black raspberries and kirsch, plus suggestions of wild mushrooms, fragrant earth, Sichuan pepper and tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers impressive energy with approachable, rounded tannins and a lively backbone framing the crunchy red and black fruits, finishing long and earthy. Drinking window: 2023 - 2040. Lisa Perrotti-Brown.

Château Gazin

Another great year for Château Gazin with a first wine that is ripe, balanced, and full of finesse! This is the first time that Château Gazin has included so much Cabernet Sauvignon in its blend, which gives good structure and reinforces the complexity of the wine. A vintage that will also seduce you with its excellent value for money!
