Product details
Château Gazin Pomerol Bordeaux Red Blend 2017 is a well-balanced wine, offering elegance and freshness despite being less powerful than its 2015 and 2016 predecessors. Crafted from 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this vintage skips Cabernet Sauvignon to ensure a refined quality. The wine was aged for 15 months in a mix of 40% new barrels and 60% used barrels, imparting a subtle complexity to its character. Its deep red color hints at the lush flavors within, delivering a bouquet of black and red fruit, particularly cherry and blueberry, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla, nutmeg, and a refreshing touch of menthol from the Cabernet Franc.
On the palate, Château Gazin 2017 opens with a silky, rounded texture, revealing the same berry richness found on the nose, intertwined with elegant floral undertones. The wine achieves a pleasant sweetness and density, offering depth without being overly heavy. Its balance of fruit, spice, and subtle freshness makes it an approachable yet sophisticated choice, reflecting the terroir of Pomerol with finesse and restraint.
