APPELLATION : POMEROL
The vineyards of Pomerol 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 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 story inspired the name of the estate’s second wine, “L’Hospitalet de Gazin”. Situated on the high terrace of the Pomerol terroir, the single 26-hectare vineyard enjoys optimal exposure during grape ripening.
GOOD TO KNOW
The 5th generation of the de Bailliencourt family has managed the estate since 2018, a year that also marked 100 years of family ownership in Pomerol. In 1970, 4.5 hectares of Gazin were sold to Pétrus. The only sale of parcels ever recorded in this iconic appellation.
