Two further sorting stages take place in the vat room, before and after removal of the stalks, to optimize the quality of the fruit. 2011 production was 74,000 bottles of Château Gazin 2011 and 47,000 bottles of the Hospitalet de Gazin second wine
To lay down 2018 - 2030
Tasting notes: Full bodied . Deepest plum-ruby in colour, this is richly textured. The nose presents profound, sweet dark fruit, concentrated yet fresh and enticingly aromatic, within a toasted backdrop. The palate is very expressive, similarly perfumed, dense black fruit complemented by mocha cream. The tannic structure, though dense and powerful, is ripe and well-integrated, guiding a poised, layered finish
