Château Gazin 2017 – Pomerol

THE PROPERTY

Château Gazin was acquired by Louis Soualle, great-grandfather of the current owners, at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the 5th generation is at the head of Château Gazin with Nicolas and Christophe de Bailliencourt dit Courcol. On the Pomerol terroir, Château Gazin is present on 26 hectares near the Gospel and Petrus. It is one of Pomerol’s most prestigious and vast crus. Gazin, which was a village in the 18th century, is probably located on the site of the Hospital de Pomeyrols, built by the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta to welcome pilgrims on the way to St Jacques de Compostelle. The Maltese cross that appears on the estate’s bottles thus evokes the glorious past of the property.
