{"product_id":"2019-chateau-gazin","title":"2019 Chateau Gazin Pomerol","description":"\u003cp\u003eManaged by the Bailliencourt dit Courcol family since 1917, Château Gazin encompasses a 26-hectare contiguous vineyard on the upper terrace of the Pomerol plateau. The estate's 35-year-old vines—planted to 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc—are cultivated in surface Günzian gravel over a subsoil of smectite (blue and green clays containing iron oxides), which ensures a highly stable water supply for the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing a manual harvest with rigorous triple sorting (once in the vineyard and twice in the vat room), the grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation in small, plot-by-plot concrete vats with a two-to-three-week maceration. The wine then matures for 18 months in oak barrels, typically 50% new, and is racked every three months. The hot, dry 2019 growing season yielded thorough ripening and excellent concentration, producing a medium-to-full-bodied Pomerol characterized by notes of dark cherry, truffle, and damp earth. Anchored by fine, well-integrated tannins and notable acidity, this vintage provides a structurally sound wine that can be approached now with brief decanting or laid down for long-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Twins Bordeaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48336849862904,"sku":"20842","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3752.jpg?v=1778612385","url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/2019-chateau-gazin","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
