Always of a high standard for a reasonable price (in Pomerol), the wines of Gazin, medium-bodied and marked by truffles, are the archetype of the appellation and of exemplary consistency vintage after vintage. “One of Pomerol's best wines, with happy surprises after 10 years” for Bettane & Desseauve as for us.
The 2011 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - September 2021): 91/100 "The 2011 Gazin has a lovely, open and generous bouquet with red berry fruit, pencil shavings, smoke and autumn bonfire. Yes, something very October-ish about the aromatics! The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a little chewy, not quite as pliant or as complex as the '11 Trotanoy, though there is admirable substance on the finish."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 95/100 “The 2021 Gazin is a dark, ample wine. Layers of dark fruit, leather, licorice, smoke, tobacco and spice unfurl in the glass. Broad and powerful, the 2021 is super-impressive in this tasting. If there is a name to wsath in Pomerol, it is Gazin.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “The nose, still discreet, distills notes of black fruits and sweet spices. The palate, richer and fuller, relies on the fine tension brought by the Cabernet Sauvignon.”
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2024): 91/100 “The 2020 Gazin has a very composed and harmonious bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry and a tight, linear style that's just missing a bit of complexity toward the finish.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2021): Coup de ♥ 94/100 “Beautifully dense, full and fragrant [...] the 2017 is a dazzling success of the vintage; it's a well-built wine, very straightforward, combining velvety smoothness and balance, tension and distinction, it will go far.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2020): 92/100 "Powerful and lush, the 2017 Gazin is super-expressive and inviting. Leather, spice, cedar menthol and dried herbs give the 2017 a very pretty, earthy character that works quite well. The 2017 builds nicely in the glass, showing terrific perisitence and plenty of charactere."
