Château Gazin 2016 is one of the highest-rated Pomerol wines from an exceptional vintage, earning 94–95 points from Robert Parker and James Suckling. This wine is an excellent choice for collectors and lovers of refined Bordeaux style, offering deep structure, long-term aging potential, and elegance.
The aroma reveals layers of black and red fruits, accented by violet flowers, vanilla, mocha, and delicate spice notes. On the palate, it is rounded, silky, and harmonious, with a long-lasting, rich finish. This is a wine whose elegance will unfold both now and over the coming decades.
The wine is produced at Château Gazin, owned by the De Bailliencourt dit Courcol family since 1917, and regarded as one of the key names in Pomerol. The 26-hectare vineyard lies on a high clay and gravel terrace, adjacent to prestigious neighbors such as Pétrus.
The blend is composed of 'Merlot' 87%, 'Cabernet Sauvignon' 8%, and 'Cabernet Franc' 5%. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, 45% of which were new, the wine preserves its fruit expression, structure, and a subtle touch of maturity.
