The producer
The vineyards of Pomerol gradually developed between the 12th century and the French Revolution under the aegis of the knights of Saint-Jean of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta.
Château GAZIN, which was a hamlet in the 18th century, is probably located on the site of the “Hospital of Pomeyrols”, built by the knights to receive pilgrims on the Santiago de Compostela route. This was the inspiration for the name of the property’s second wine “l’Hospitalet de Gazin”.
The wine
Its sought-after vineyards on the Pomerol plateau are predominantly home to well-positioned Merlot grapes, which constitute about 90% of the plantings. The remaining vines include a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and even smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc.
