1961 Rauzan-Gassies, Margaux (mid shoulder)
Notes
See Product DetailsChâteau Rauzan-Gassies started out life in the middle of the seventeenth century. At the time, it was a part of the gigantic Rauzan estate owned by Pierre de Mesures de Rauzan. The massive Bordeaux wine property was over time split up again and again. By the time of the 1855 Classification, the once vast Margaux estate had given birth to not only Rauzan-Gassies, but Château Rauzan-Segla, Château Marquis de Terme and even Château Desmirail. After World War 2, in 1946, Château Rauzan-Gassies was sold to the Quie family. The Quie family continue to own Rauzan-Gassies today as well as Château Croizet-Bages in Pauillac and Château Bel Orme Tronquoy de Lalande, a Cru Bourgeois estate in the Medoc. The 28.5 hectare, Left Bank vineyard of Château Rauzan-Gassies is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, on gravel and sand soils.
