Description
The vineyards of Pomerol developed from the 12th century to the Revolution under the aegis of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta.
Château GAZIN, which was a village in the 18th century, is probably located on the site of the "Hospital dePomeyrols" built by the Knights to welcome pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.
Feminine and seductive, due to the dominance of the Merlot, Château GAZIN's wines can be enjoyed after a few years in the bottle, but usually they are worth laying down for fifteen, twenty years or more. Their sumptuous generosity offers a wide aromatic range of red and black fruit which harmonizes with their intense crimson or garnet red colour. They typically offer hints of plum, chocolate, coffee or liquorice, with aromas of almonds, toast, tobacco and vanilla, and a minty freshness.
With maturity they develop a spicy nose, with a hint of truffles, notes of undergrowth, game, fur and leather...

Tasting
The wine's appearance is dark, brilliant bordeaux.
2011 features strong tannic notes, with red and black berry aromas: sour cherry, blackberry and black currant, a slightly toasted smell, winy, peppery, with a hint of caramel.
The taste is silky, rather full, with a nice lingering effect, and a clearly tannic finish that doesn't overpower and will soften with age.
