Good to know: Château Gazin is a prestigious estate located in the heart of Pomerol, renowned for its exceptional terroir of blue clay and gravel soils shared with neighboring icons like Petrus. Owned by the Bailliencourt dit Courcols family for five generations, the 26-hectare vineyard lies on a single contiguous plot and is planted predominantly to Merlot, with smaller portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Committed to traditional methods, the grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted, fermented in concrete vats, and aged for 18 months in around 50% new French oak. The resulting wines are known for their purity, refined tannins, and mineral elegance—offering a harmonious blend of power and finesse with impressive aging potential. Often considered an “unofficial great growth” of Pomerol, Château Gazin remains a benchmark for quality and value in the appellation.
