Owner's words
May/June heavy rains together with low temperatures in spring and summer, unlike previous years, led to a more classical Pomerol vintage style, in particular with less sun influences. Our Château Gazin 2021, a pure merlot wine, shows notes of red fruit (morello), black current and also, more subtle floral fragrances, like violet and iris. The wine offers a fine structure. It is rich, round without over powerness. In mouth, this vintage has a sweet and pleasant touch, long in the palate and well balanced with freshness and energy.
