Det berømte Château Gazin er en af appellationens største ejendomme med over 24 hektar vinmarker, der ligger i en samlet parcel på den eftertragtede øvre del at Pomerol-plateauet. Naboerne her er ingen ringere end Château Petrus og Château L'Évangile. Plateauet rummer et unikt terroir, hvor undergrunden er fed ler. Her stortrives Merlot.
Château Gazin har en fascinerende historie, og ejendommen har bl.a. tidligere tilhørt korsridderordenen Saint John af Jerusalem. Ejendommen blev dengang anvendt som hospital til pilgrimsrejsende. Det er herfra navnet stammer til slottes 2. vin ”L’Hospitalet de Gazin”
I dag ejes ejendommen af familien Bailliencourt.
Vinen lagres 18 måneder på fad, hvoraf halvdelen af fadene er helt nye egetræsfade.
Gazin producerer årligt omkring 100.000 flasker, hvoraf ca. 30.000 er slottes 2. vin. Det er en forholdsvis stor produktion for et Pomerol-slot.

The deep purple, inky-hued 2018 Château Gazin comes from the Pomerol plateau and is 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. A brilliant nose of blueberries, candied cherries, wildflowers, tobacco, chocolate, and spice gives way to a stunning Pomerol with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless texture, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This plush, sexy, opulent Pomerol does everything right. It already offers pleasure yet will ideally be given 4-6 years of bottle age and will have two decades or so over overall longevity.
The 2018 Gazin has a lively, generous bouquet of vivacious wild strawberry, boysenberry and hints of tobacco. The aromatics are well delineated and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, offering seductive black fruit mixed with black pepper, truffle and clove. There is so much finesse toward the finish that it is approachable now, yet it certainly has the substance to suggest long-term aging. Not to be underestimated, this is another wonderful Gazin.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Gazin (a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc) leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of warm plums, black raspberries and kirsch, plus suggestions of wild mushrooms, fragrant earth, Sichuan pepper and tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers impressive energy with approachable, rounded tannins and a lively backbone framing the crunchy red and black fruits, finishing long and earthy. 93+
