Château L'Hospitalet de Gazin | Pomerol
Red wine | France, POMEROL | 2018
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
Château Gazin stands on the presumed site of the former Hospital de Pomeyrols, a hospice founded in the 12th century by the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem to welcome pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The vineyard extends over 26 hectares in a single contiguous block on the Pomerol plateau. In 1986, the estate introduced its second wine, L'Hospitalet de Gazin, allowing for an even more rigorous selection for the Grand Vin.
