About this Item

Pomerol, 1969
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Château Gazin is located on the Right Bank of Bordeaux and was acquired by Louis Soualle, a French wine merchant, in the early 20th Century. Soualle's daughter married Edouard de Bailliencourt, who came from a family descended from the Lords of Landas. Today the château is still run by the same Bailliencourt family. This Pomerol property focuses its production on Merlot, with the occasional addition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc in some vintages. The 26 hectares of vineyards stretch along the highest plateau in the area, providing perfect growing conditions for their fine Merlot.

Critics Ratings

‘The contact with the fine lees and the oak tannins gradually adds structure and complexity, enabling the production of wines that can be laid down and that will improve over time. Their sumptuous generosity offers a wide aromatic range of red and black fruit which harmonizes with their intense crimson or garnet red colour. They typically offer hints of plum, chocolate, coffee or liquorice, with aromas of almonds, toast, tobacco and vanilla, and a minty freshness. With maturity they develop a spicy nose, with a hint of truffles, notes of undergrowth, game, fur and leather’ - Château Gazin
