Description
Château RAUZAN-GASSIES, second classified growth in 1855 in the Margaux appellation, owes its name to Chevalier de Rauzan, who transformed the « Maison Noble de Gassies » into a famous wine estate in the 17th century.
Greatly attracted by this outstanding terroir, Monsieur Paul Quié, passionate about wine, acquired the château in 1946. The vineyard of Château Rauzan-Gassies covers 30 hectares located in the Margaux appellation and 30 hectares located in the Haut-Médoc appellation.
His son, Jean-Michel, assisted by his children, perpetuates today the tradition of this famous estate, which is the guardian and ambassador of the family's values.
Château Rauzan-Gassies produces deeply-colored, elegant, complex wines with a velvety texture that is typical of great wines with superb ageing potential.

Tasting
The refreshing bouquet of fruit compote, spice and tobacco of Château Rauzan Gassies AOC 2e Grand Cru Classe Margaux reveals aromatic complexity and great finesse. Dominant nuances of black cherry, black plum and black pepper shape its individual texture. Its elegant ruby colour is the icing on the cake of any special evening. A fruity red wine with a powerful body and dominant acidity, which nicely develops its individual structure with finely developed tannins on the tongue and palate.
