Château Gazin 2022
Red wine | Pomerol AC
Château Gazin wines are feminine and charming, as Merlot is the dominant grape variety. They are enjoyable to drink after a few years of ageing, but improve with 15, 20 or more years of ageing. Their magnificent generosity reveals a wide range of aromas.

97 100Yves Beck94% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon Château Gazin n’a jamais aimé être bruyant. Il préfère se vouer au détails, à la finesse et à la pluralité, mais toujours avec mesure ! En 2022 cela lui sied à nouveau très bien. La fraîcheur affichée souligne la pertinence de la vendange et de la vinification, tout en assumant la largeur et la richesse du millésime. On ne manquera pas de relever des nuances de réglisse, de myrtilles et de menthe. Dense et précis en attaque, le vin bénéficie de l’appui inconditionnel de tannins musclés, définis et puissants qui brillent de leur sérénité et de leur fraîcheur. Un vin d’une grande élégance illuminé par une énergie droite, précis, digne d’un sabre laser ! Je pense qu’il saura garder son éclat tout au long de son périple en le mettant de moult manières en scène. A nous de vérifier régulièrement ! 2027-2052. Novembre 2024.

95 100Jean-Marc QuarinBelle couleur rouge sombre, intense et pourpre. Superbe nez, très aromatique, fin, fruité, avec une note rare de violette à cet âge. Délicatement parfumé dès l'entrée en bouche, minutieux au milieu, avec un toucher raffiné, le vin se développe charnu et très aromatique. Les fleurs l'emportent sur toute chose, avant que la finale ne s'achève sur les fruits noirs. Très belle construction. Belle finale profonde. Une grande réussite. Assemblage : 93 % merlot, 4 % cabernet franc, 3 % cabernet sauvignon. Degré d'alcool : 14°3. Rendement : 26 hl/ha. Avril 2023.

94 100DecanterEnergy and purity straight away, this is streamlined and focussed with crisp strawberry, juicy cherry and cool blueberry fruit. I like the density and precision to the tannins - they give both a weight and sense of sculpting with a real sense of freshness all the way through. Spiced accents come in the form of liquorice and slate but this remains really quite charming and friendly with fruit purity. Drinking window: 2025 - 2045. Georgina Hindle. January 2025.

94 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateUnwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, licorice, cherries and spices, the 2022 Gazin is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with excellent depth at the core, sweet tannins and a long, expansive finish. Despite the drought, the vineyards performed better in 2022 than in 2020 at this address, and the result is one of the better vintages for Gazin in recent years. 92-94/100. William Kelley. April 2023.

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!
