Chateau 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”. Laure (Madame Michel Dufour), Christophe, Inès and Nicolas de Bailliencourt are the descendants of Louis Soualle and represent the 5th generation of vineyard owners both on the paternal and maternal side. The terroir of Château Gazin is composed of Günzian gravels and includes, in the subsoil, blue and green clays including iron oxides (iron fats). These clays (smectites) allow a regular and moderate supply of the vine in water, characteristic of great terroirs. The clay-gravelly subsoil of the Pomerol plateau is the essence of the terroir of Château GAZIN.
