The Story

Feminine and seductive, due to the dominance of the Merlot, Château GAZIN's wines can be enjoyed after a few years in the bottle, but usually they are worth laying down for fifteen, twenty years or more. 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,...

Vintage 2015

Full report of Bordeaux 2015 by Andrew Caillard MW “Next in line in a great series of vintages; 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2015.

 

2015 is a wonderful Bordeaux vintage without the hype or hysteria associated with 2009 and 2010. The wines are generally expressive and generous with wonderful concentration and structure. Given another year in barrel, the wines should gain more complexity and fruit volume. Châteaux, in all sub-regions, are e...

Written Notes

Opulent, floral, violet, concentrated red fruit with hint of oak and vanilla. Long length with depth, long ageing potential from the texture of the wine. Lovely one! 94-96
  • 95p
Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black core. Well structured nose but slightly closed character, opening up with some oxygen, dark berries and gingerbread. On the palate ripe tannins, well structured with elegant body and excellent length.

Ruby. Fruity, blueberries, red fruits, scented and floral nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, fruity, lively, detailed and long. No CS in the blend this year, seems to do it good, probably the best Gazin since the lovely 1990. 93-95
  • 94p
Deep colour. Lovely perfumed wine with fragrant violet, cherry, dark plum aromas and vanilla notes. Gorgeously concentrated wine with dark cherry, plum fruits, superb graphite textures and underlying savoury oak. Finishes juicy and al dente firm. Elemental but classic in style with superb vinosity and flavour length. 95 points
  • 95p
Pure focused nose, this is as usual more sedate and firm than most in Pomerol, both on the nose and the palate. Cool fruit here mind, powerful and promising one to watch. 91-93/100 2030 2050
