Château Gazin 2009 is a full-bodied Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Owned by the Bailliencourt family since the 20th century, Château Gazin is a 26-hectare Pomerol estate planted on one of the highest plateaus in the region where the vines are on average 35 years old. The wines offer a classically rich and luxurious expression of Merlot-led fruit from the appellation. "A big, powerful, masculine Pomerol with a style not dissimilar from Le Gay, the dense purple-coloured 2009 Gazin exhibits black currant, black cherry liqueur, coffee, roasted herb, an exotic Asian spice component, vanillin, creme caramel and toasty oak in its aromatics and flavours. From a vineyard near Petrus, Le Gay and La Fleur Petrus, it is full-bodied with liquorice, earth, truffle and creme de cassis in the mouth. Give this powerful, backward 2009 an additional 6-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following three decades." Wine Advocate, 2012

Vinous
The 2009 Gazin has a very concentrated, high-toned bouquet with Merlot firmly in the driving seat, a mixture of black and blue fruit. The palate is rounded on the entry with supple tannin, succulent and glossy in style with macerated black cherries and salted liquorice towards the finish. This needs another year or two in the glass. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin1st March 2019
