The development of the Pomerol vineyard in the 12th century up to the French Revolution of 1789 around the command of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta. The present day Château GAZIN, which was once a village in the 18th century, is located on the site of the hospital built by the Knights to host the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella; in the French department of the Gironde.

Château GAZIN wines are a very typical product of the Pomerol terroir. The grapes are fermented in small cement vats. The wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels (50% new) according to the Bordeaux tradition: malolactic fermentation in casks, rackings to separate the fine wine from the lees, fining with egg whites and, if necessary, light filtration. Their lavish richness offers a wide aromatic range of black and red fruits which harmonises with their intense purple or garnet colour. They also frequently offer hints of mint, plum, chocolate, coffee or liquorice, a bouquet of almond, toast, tobacco and vanilla. Maturity gives them a nose of spices, truffles, undergrowth and gamey scents: fur, leather... Their taste is characterised by their silky tannins, their balance and concentration, enhanced by a delicate oaky note. Feminine and delightful due to the dominance of the Merlot, Château GAZIN wines can be drunk young or after ageing for 10 -15 years or more.
The Château Gazin is a member of the Union of the Great Growths of Bordeaux and of the Academy of Wines of Bordeaux.
Chateau La Fleur de Petrus Pomerol Bordeaux France
The origin of the Petrus Estate name comes from a small area called “Petrus”. Yet before 1945 Petrus stayed confidential. In 19th century the chateau belonged to the Arnaud Family. In 1920, Mrs Loubat inherited that vineyard situated on the highest part of the appellation Pomerol, in the Bordeaux region. Twenty years later, she was joined by Jean-Pierre Moueix, wine-merchant established on the quay of the River Dordogne. Château-Pétrus began to come out of its anonymity. Madame Loubat presented her bottles in England for HRH Princess Elizabeth and Philip, duke of Edinborough's wedding. Across the Atlantic, Pétrus became the special wine of the Kennedys.

In Pomerol there is no classification as in Médoc or Saint-Emilion. But the small surface, 11.50 hectares (9 times smaller than Lafite) of Pétrus makes it rare. Pétrus, tremendous soil, is first of all the rendez-vous of men in love with wine; Michel Gilet, master of the vines, dreams of nature without chemistry; Francois Veyssiere, cellar-master is also collector of fruit-trees in danger of extinction; the winemaker, Jean-Claude Berrouet brings his enthusiasm of Basque to Pétrus as well as to Lafleur-Pétrus, La Magdeleine and Trotanoy. Today Pétrus is owned by the eternal Jean-Pierre Moueix and by Lily-Paul Lacoste Loubat, heiress and niece of Madame Loubat.
