As good as the Chapelle is

97 ha parcel of 40 year old vines and 50% new wood)

Tasted April 2016

backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad-shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality

Beautiful on the nose

Gazin (Pomerol) other_regions As good as the ChapelleThe 2010 Gazin has a delightful bouquet with more red than black fruit (raspberry, cranberry and a touch of red cherry) a joyful and perhaps less serious nose, but one with detail and class. The palate is medium bodied with fine grain tannins. This feels very lithe with an almost perfect bead of acidity. Harmonious and extremely long, this is a brilliant Pomerol from Nicolas de Bailliencourt and it will age with supreme class. Outstanding. Tasted at
