Description
Château Gazin is located on the north-eastern part of the Pomerol plateau, between Châteaux Petrus and Lafleur-Gazin, on a terroir of Gunzian gravel with a subsoil of blue and green clay with iron oxides. The vineyard is managed with an environmentally friendly approach: ploughing, organic fertilizers, minimum use of pesticides and manual harvests. Traditional techniques and modern knowledge are applied in equal measure both in the vineyard and in the winery, to ensure consistent high quality and expression of terroir. After the manual harvest, the grapes are vinified in small concrete tanks before being aged for 18 months in oak barrels. L’hospitalet de Gazin, the second wine of Château Gazin, has been produced since 1986 from the fruit of younger vines. An elegant, supple, charming wine, it can be enjoyed after just a few years in bottle.
Tasting Notes
95.6The 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 [90/100, Antonio Galloni, December 2022, vinous.com]
