Gazin 2022

Gazin

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Built upon the ruins of the 12th century Hôpital de Pomeyrols, Château Gazin is steeped in history, which is imbued into this classic Pomerol wine. A 26-hectare winery, its vineyards contain Merlot (c.80%), Cabernet Franc (c.15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.5%). At Gazin they carry the harvest out by hand, before maturing the wine in 50% new oak barrels for eighteen months, and it is the contact between the fine lees and the oak tannins that see the structural complexity of this wine take form. Neighbouring the estates of L’Evangile and Pétrus may seem like stiff competition, but in turn, Gazin benefits from the exceptional Pomerol terroir, which comprises of a clay-gravel sub-soil. The result? A nose teeming with potent aromas, whose full-bodied palate is crammed with juicy red and black fruit flavours.

William Kelley

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, licorice, cherries and spices, the 2022 Gazin is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with excellent depth at the core, sweet tannins and a long, expansive finish. Despite the drought, the vineyards performed better in 2022 than in 2020 at this address, and the result is one of the better vintages for Gazin in recent years.

Supple and energetic, this has a lovely dynamism and purity straight away, clean and clear, tangy but tannic so you get brightness and power. Its on the more tannic side right now, filling and upfront, but they have a nice texture and weight and the fruit intensity really carries the liveliness all the way through - picked just ripe, or just before, I think. Nicely accessible and a softer more approachable style from Gazin. A little atypical and the better for it. A yield of 26hl/ha. Tasted twice.
