2014 Château Gazin
Château Gazin is located on the Pomerol plateau, one of the best-known regions on the right bank of Bordeaux. Merlot plays a leading role here. After an unpredictable growing season, the 2014 harvest benefited from favorable conditions in the fall. This resulted in Bordeaux wines where freshness and ripeness complement each other.
The Story of the Vintage
Bordeaux experienced an unpredictable summer in 2014, but September brought a favorable turnaround. This was important for the ripening of the grapes, including those in Pomerol. The clay and gravel soils of the plateau give Château Gazin its distinctive character. The 2014 vintage thus offers a different perspective than the riper vintages that followed.
Tasting Experience
Red and dark cherries, plum, and subtle spices complement the character of this Gazin. The tannins provide structure without making the wine rely solely on power. After years in the bottle, earthy and refined notes of aging may emerge.
Serving
Serve with veal, poultry with mushrooms, or a gently cooked meat dish. An older bottle should be opened with care; decant only if its condition or any sediment warrants it. Those who want to explore the influence of the vintage can pair this 2014 with the more mature 2015.
