THE PRODUCER
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”.

THE WINE

Its sought-after vineyards on the Pomerol plateau are predominantly home to
well-positioned Merlot grapes, which constitute about 90% of the plantings. The
remaining vines include a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and even smaller
amounts of Cabernet Franc.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
