Pomerol 2015
฿฿฿
From our sommelier team
A Merlot-dominant Pomerol (roughly 90% Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) built on gravel-clay-iron soils with pockets of blue clay; the style favors silky texture and finesse over power, with flowers, plum, cherry, truffle, chocolate, and licorice notes and earthy undertones. Aged around 18 months in 40-50% new French oak.
Gazin's vineyard borders directly on Petrus, and in 1969 the cash-strapped estate sold roughly 5.5 hectares of vines to its famous neighbor — a parcel now folded into Petrus itself. The property has no official 1855-style classification (Pomerol was never classified), but its quality has climbed markedly since Nicolas de Bailliencourt began working at the property in 1984 and took over as manager in 1990.
Signature pairings
- Roast duck breast with plum sauce — The wine's plum and cherry fruit and silky tannins mirror the richness of duck and a fruit-based sauce without overwhelming it.
- Braised beef short rib — Merlot-based structure and earthy truffle notes complement slow-braised, gelatinous beef and its reduction sauce.
- Dark chocolate and cherry tart — Chocolate and cherry notes already present in the wine echo a chocolate-cherry dessert for a seamless flavor bridge.
Lots of cedar, tea-leaf and hazelnut character and ripe fruit aromas. Citrus peel, too. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Smoky undertone. This is structured and so complex. Drink in 2023.
