On the Pomerol plateau, where gravel meets clay in a rare mineral harmony, Château Gazin 2019 unfolds the distinctive aesthetic of a great Right Bank wine. This emblematic Pomerol AOC cuvée expresses the essence of Merlot, elevated by the subtle imprint of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. 2019 is a year of plenitude, offering radiant ripeness, precision and architectural freshness. The frame, dense yet airy, unrolls a score of dark fruit, truffle accents and floral lifts, a refined variation around substance and elegance. For the lover seeking a characterful red, for the aesthete after a union of depth and velvety texture, this wine promises a sensory experience to be savoured as much as admired. Also endowed with remarkable cellaring potential, it takes its place in the cellar as a long-memory companion, ready to reveal itself gracefully over the years.

Assemblage et vinification

The signature of Château Gazin rests on a blend dominated by Merlot, around 90%, completed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc according to the vintage balance. Sourced from parcels on a clay-gravel terroir renowned for producing fleshy, long and finely textured wines, the 2019 combines fruit richness and uprightness. Meticulous grape selection and careful cellar élevage aim for purity of expression rather than showmanship, preserving Merlot's generous core while providing the structure and length required. Each step respects the identity of the Pomerol plateau, delivering a complete wine, as appealing young as it is remarkable after a few years' rest in the cellar.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Deep and luminous, crossed by a sovereign brilliance that signals concentration and finesse.
• Nez : Complex bouquet of black cherry, ripe raspberry and blackcurrant, underlined by truffle, violet and fine herb accents, with nuances of chocolate, soft leather and discreet minerality.
• Bouche : Velvety texture, tight yet perfectly polished tannins, a broad juicy core of fruit, structuring freshness and an long, savoury and slightly saline finish that calls for food.

Température de service et conseils

To highlight the fruit precision and the nobility of the texture, serve Château Gazin 2019 at around 16 to 18°C in large wine glasses, after prior aeration. A careful decanting allows the dark fruit aromas, truffle notes and mineral thread to unfold with elegance. Store bottles in a temperate cellar, protected from vibrations and light, to encourage a harmonious evolution towards spicier and tertiary nuances. Pleasure is already great today, but a few years of patience will reveal additional depth and an even more cohesive texture.
