"the history of the estate dates back to 1661, when pierre de rauzan, a merchant in bordeaux and farmer at château margaux, acquired the seigneury of gassies and its vineyard. his descendants continued his work until the revolution, when the estate was split between rauzan-ségla and rauzan-gassies. in 1855, both rauzan were classified as second grand cru. the property now belongs to the heirs of paul quié, a wine broker who bought it in 1946. the family also owns châteaux bel orme tronquoy de lalande and croizet-bages. the vineyard of château rauzan-gassies is made up of numerous small plots spread over one of the fossil beds of the garonne, thus offering a complete sampling of soils which illustrate the particularities of this terroir. in 1992 a new stainless steel vat room was built with a capacity of 4000 hectolitres. the wines of rauzan-gassies are aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 50% of which are new. they require a few years of ageing to reach their fullness. it is a classic margaux. the nose develops aromas of violet, blackberry and blackcurrant. the palate is full, structured but with very fine tannins in the style of margaux wines."
