Intense nose with abundant red fruit aromas of cranberry and redcurrant mingled with spicy notes of dill and rosemary, as well as pastry overtones. Starts out soft and rich, displaying very smooth, fine tannins mid palate, and a return to red fruit flavours A smooth, well balanced finish with good acidity that delivers excellent length.

The Chateau Magrez Fombrauge 2018 is a stunning representation of Bordeaux winemaking at its finest. With its deep ruby hue, this wine immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark chocolate mingle with subtle hints of cedar and tobacco, creating a complex yet inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and spiced oak dance on the tongue, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This vintage, produced by the renowned Chateau Fombrauge in 2018, is a testament to the dedication and expertise of its winemakers. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential for further aging, making it a truly remarkable addition to any cellar.

Fading. Ruby-colored, with an intense garnet edge. Meaty and autumnal, with fruit aromas. Medium-bodied, soft and light, with earth and berry flavors, but very short. Slightly dry.--1982 Bordeaux horizontal. Wine Spectator

The dense black fruits on the nose with a hint of plum cake are open and attractive, and the wine is rich, fleshy and easy to drink. A very well-made modern wine that needs time to soften the tannins. Give it three years. Suckling

With the estate itself dating back to 1772, and the logo taking inspiration from an ancient connection to the Knights Templars history in the Pomerol region, Chateau Gazin is steeped in both winemaking and national history. Sharing borders with Petrus and LEvangile, it more than holds its own among its distinguished peers! It has been in the possession of the same family since 1917, with the most recent descendent, Nicolas de Bailliencourt assuming control in 1988. Under de Bailliencourts watchful eye, the Chateau has abolished machine harvesting, making a return to hand-picking, and producing lower overall yields.
