Château L'hospitalet de Gazin | Pomerol
Red wine | France, POMEROL | 2017
Violet and blackberries on the nose. Ripe and mouth-filling, with blueberry and plum countered by cooling mint and wet stone. Lovely cola flavours. The roundness and soft chewiness at the beginning subsides to let the cool fruit and chalky texture come through, filling the mouth and taking over.

About Ch. Gazin
The vineyards of Pomerol gradually developed between the 12th century and the French Revolution under the aegis of the knights of Saint-Jean of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta. Château Gazin, which was a hamlet in the 18th century, is probably located on the site of the “Hospital of Pomeyrols”, built by the knights to receive pilgrims on the Santiago de Compostela route. This was the inspiration for the name of the property’s second wine “l’Hospitalet de Gazin”.
