Gazin
Château Gazin is a relative large single block Pomerol estate. Their label design bears the Knights Templar’s cross due to a historic connection. After indifference in the 70s and 80s, major renovations in 1996 have lifted the quality dramatically. The estate shares a boundary with Château Pétrus, Château Lafleur-Pétrus and l’Evangile. In fact, in 1969 Gazin actually sold 5.5ha to Pétrus. Chateau Gazin shares one of the highest levels of elevation in Pomerol, along with Pétrus. At its peak, Gazin reaches up to 40.5 meters. Inside their single block of vines, their best terroir is perfectly placed close to the middle of their holdings, which sits on blue clay. It is clear that his terroir has the potential to produce Merlot-dominated wine at the very highest level.

(3x150cl) 2023James Suckling (95-96)
Very classy, with a crushed-stone and terra-cotta highlight to the blackberry, chocolate and hazelnut character. It’s medium-bodied with a personality that grows on the finish and delivers intensity and length at the end. Very long. Very structured. We will see which is better, 2022 or 2023.$406.00 -

A dark, winey style, with flavors of steeped plum, kirsch and black cherry preserves, notes of singed spice and apple wood and a long, licorice-framed finish. Features a bit of chewy grip, but there's ample flesh at the core for balance. Best from 2014 through 2020. -JM$570.00 -

The 2020 Hospitalet de Gazin is a gorgeous, effusive Pomerol. Sweet dark spice notes open first, leading to a core of sumptuous black cherry fruit. Plush and voluptuous, with no hard edges and fine balance, the 2020 is quite tasty. The combination of dense fruit, energy and mid-weight structure is classic 2020.$217.00
