Expert's opinions

88 / 100
Wine Spectator November - 1998
Wine Spectator
. A delicious glass of red. Dark ruby-garnet color, with an amber edge. Berry and coffee aromas. Medium-bodied, with lovely, well-integrated, velvety tannins and a ripe fruit finish.

Jean-Marc Quarin October - 1990
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red color. Evolved. Brown. Intense and brilliant. Nose. Clean. Medium intensity. Notes of roasting and animal. Candied fruit. Clean and broad attack. Development on a voluminous, fleshy, fairly concentrated structure evolving on tannins that are very present with woody, fruity and long astringency but rustic. A wine that is richer than the 83 but again not nuanced enough, all of a piece that will gain smoothness with the patina of time.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
. Fat, plummy, velvety, and precocious, with low acidity, this forward, tasty, but loosely knit wine is charmingly fruity and straightforward.

Château Château Rauzan Gassies
Château Rauzan Gassies
Château Rauzan Gassies
While the noble house of Chevalier de Gassies is one of the oldest in Margaux, the wine history of Château Rauzan-Gassies begins in the 18th century. This château was created by Mr. Pierre DESMEZURES DE RAUZAN, a merchant who was also the tenant of the noble house of Latour. This position allowed him to collect seigneurial rights and increase his own estate. He bought numerous plots from neighboring farmers and thus, in about twenty years at the end of the 17th century, he created two beautiful vineyards: Rauzan-Gassies and Pichon-Longueville, both future classified growths. Rauzan-Gassies wines have always enjoyed a certain reputation in England, thanks to Mr. de Rauzan's approach of personally selling his harvests aboard a ship he chartered to the port of London. Mr. de Rauzan, who later became Counselor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, left his mark on the property's label in the form of wings protecting grape clusters. During the 1855 classification, RAUZAN GASSIES wines were classified as second growths. In 1946, Mr. Paul QUIE, a certified wine broker in Bercy (Wine trading center for Paris and its region) whose father was already in the profession, bought this vineyard, following numerous predecessors such as Mr. Rhoné-Péraire who, in the 19th century, had a particularly positive impact on the growth's reputation. In 1968, his son Jean Michel took over the management of the estate; he has been assisted since 1995 by Mr. Jean-Louis CAMP, and since 2001 by his children, Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe QUIE.
