2024 Château Gazin Pomerol

EXCLUSIVE OFFER VALID UNTIL 31/12/2026 - DELIVERY SPRING 2027

The 2024 Gazin holds the title: “The most affordable wine from the famous Pomerol plateau!” In 2024, there was a 60% drop in volume, making this one of the rarest wines in this price range.

Château Gazin was once a barn of the Order of the "Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem," as their symbol (a red cross) on the label still bears witness. With its 24.4 hectares in one piece, it is one of the largest properties in Pomerol. The owner is Mr. Nicolas de Baillencourt. The soil is of very high quality, consisting of pebbles and clay with the typical subsoil full of "crasse de fer." In the 1970s, the owner even sold a part of this to Château Petrus. This is a Pomerol of very high class. Château Gazin borders Château Petrus. That actually says a lot already. Distinguished is a fitting description for the taste of this intense wine.

The 2024 Château Gazin from Pomerol is an elegant and accessible wine that beautifully reflects the charm of the Right Bank region. The blend consists of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon , sourced from hand-harvested grapes at optimal ripeness. The Merlot was picked between September 20 and 30, followed by the Cabernet Sauvignon on October 3, 2024.

The wine has an alcohol content of 13.5% and matured for 14 to 16 months in barriques, half of which are new and half second-pass. This combination of barrel types ensures refinement, preservation of aromatic freshness, and a beautiful balance between wood and fruit.

Tasting notes:

The color is deep purple, with refined aromas of blueberries, blackberries, peony, and a hint of menthol on the nose. On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be round and fleshy, with fine, well-integrated tannins. The whole is harmonious and silky, with a fresh undertone that ensures both drinkability and aging potential. The 2024 Gazin is already attractive in its youth but will develop further and show its full potential between 2029 and 2034.
