2024 Château Gazin Pomerol

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

The Gazin 2024 has been labeled "The most affordable wine from the famous Pomerol plateau!" The 2024 vintage was sold at a volume of 60%, making it one of the scarcest wines in this price range.

Château Gazin was once a barn belonging to the Order of the Hospitallers of Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem, as their mark (a red cross) on the label still attests. 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, pebbles and clay with the typical subsoil full of "crasse de fer." In the 1970s, the owner even sold a portion of this to Château Pétrus. This is a Pomerol of exceptional class. Château Gazin borders Château Pétrus. That says a lot, really. You can safely describe the taste of this intense wine as distinguished.

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 grapes hand-harvested at peak ripeness. The Merlot was harvested between September 20th and 30th, followed by the Cabernet Sauvignon on October 3rd, 2024.

The wine has an alcohol content of 13.5% and was aged for 14 to 16 months in barriques, half 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 blueberry, blackberry, peony, and a hint of menthol on the nose. On the palate, the wine is round and fleshy, with fine, well-integrated tannins. The overall effect is harmonious and silky, with a fresh undertone that makes it both drinkable and aging potential. The 2024 Gazin is already appealing in its youth, but will continue to develop and reveal its full potential between 2029 and 2034.
