For anyone searching for the quintessential Pomerol, your quest is over. The 2020 Château Gazin is it. This inky-hued Bordeaux blend showcases red and blue fruits with a potpourri of wildflowers, violets, earthiness, and herby aromas. Add in striking purity and ultra-polished tannins, and it’s easy to see why wine critic James Suckling posited this vintage as the best of the 2018 to 2020 trilogy. What makes 2020 Château Gazin unique is the estate’s willingness to break from tradition in order to produce the best possible wine. For decades, the grand vin featured a three-grape blend. In 2020, Château Gazin nixed the cabernet franc in favor of 90 merlot and 10 cabernet sauvignon. The result: a thrilling red wine that retains the classic style and swagger of its predecessors. The Final Sip: Even with a tweak to the blend, 2020 Château Gazin stands out as one of the best examples of Pomerol wine.
Critics Scores
Decanter
I love this, extremely classic Gazin, which has depth and pep, and a jaunty feel to the black fruits. The freshness keeps the core of this wine firm from beginning to end, as do the chewy tannins. This is not an exuberant vintage but at this particular estate it suits the personality because it is always fairly old school and classic. For the first time no Cabernet Franc in the blend, just Cabernet Sauvignon.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Gazin rolls effortlessly out of the glass with upfront scents of baked black plums, stewed black cherries and mulberries, plus hints of spice cake, chocolate box and cracked black pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate has a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing savory. Barrel Sample: 92-94
Vinous
The 2020 Gazin, which contains no Cabernet Franc this year, has a wonderful bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, crushed stone and pressed iris petal scents, very focused and precise, that really whisks you down to Pomerol. The medium-bodied palate displays fine-grained tannins and a silver bead of acidity. Very sapid with a little more dryness on the finish than its peers, which gets the saliva flowing. Classic Pomerol through and through.
Jeb Dunnuck
A quintessential Pomerol with its beautiful red and blue fruits as well as floral, earth, and sappy herb aromas and flavors, the 2020 Château Gazin is medium to full-bodied and has wonderful purity, ultra-fine tannins, and no hard edges. It shines for its purity and elegance and is just a classy, thrilling wine.
James Suckling
This is really fantastic with so much intensity and focus. Firm, linear tannins frame the wine beautifully. Polished and fine. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and posed. Complex flavors of blackberry, black olive, mushroom and bark. Persistent finish. Best of the trilogy?
Wine Enthusiast
This wine is dark with dense tannins and a solid texture. Along with the richness, there is the potential of massive black fruit weight that will give a wine of power and concentration.
