CHÂTEAU RAUZAN GASSIES 1975

Wine 1975 2ème Cru Classé  Bordeaux Margaux

Tasting notes: Harvested relatively early, the Merlot brings roundness and freshness to the wine with a delicious and crisp fruit. Harvested next, the Petit Verdot, present in a tiny quantity, contributes with its deep color, the perfect reflection of the wine's aromatic complexity. With later ripening, the Cabernet Sauvignon is worth the wait. As the dominant grape variety, it represents at least three-quarters of the final blend. At the heart of this great wine, it balances between young plots with aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, and older ones, ennobled by time, with silky and smooth tannins.

Grape variety/Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (~58%), Merlot (~40%), Cabernet Franc (~2%) (variations may occur from one vintage to another)

Aging: Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels

Food and Wine Pairing: Beef and venison

Wonderful garnet color with barely any browning at the rim. Perfect balance and harmony on the palate still with good stuffing of dark and red fruit and earthy notes. Completely resolved tannins. Finish could be longer but this is just great to drink with probably only 11.5% alcohol. Wine started to fade though after 1.5h or so and gradually lost most of its fruit.

A big surprise in this vintage, the 1975 Rauzan-Gassies could well be the best wine produced in the Margaux appellation after Palmer and Giscours. It has an excellent dark ruby ??color, a deep, rich, woody, cassis-fragrant bouquet, a mellow, full-bodied, very concentrated feel on the palate, and a tannic, long finish.

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.
