The Story
A distinguished Second Growth Margaux, Château Rauzan-Gassies reveals elegant aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, violet, cedar, graphite, tobacco, and subtle baking spice. Richly structured yet beautifully refined, it delivers silky tannins, vibrant freshness, remarkable precision, and a long, graceful finish with excellent aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, mushroom risotto, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.
91 Points - James Suckling
Very vibrant red and dark berries with briary complexity, leading to a palate that has a smooth array of bright, fleshy red cherries and raspberries, as well as a juicy and fresh, lively finish. Try from 2021.
88 Points - Wine Enthusiast
The second wine of Château Rauzan-Gassies, this textured release is dominated by the black-currant fruits of Cabernet Sauvignon. Tannins and acidity give structure to a wine that is just ready to drink.
