Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Florales Bouquet, wirkt etwas reserviert und zeigt weniger Süsse als vergleichbare Crus. Im Gaumen recht fein, gut ausgelegt, mürb-mehliger Stoff, florales Finale. Gute Anlagen. warten (2016 - 2032)

A masculine-styled, dense purple-colored 2009, this cuvee offers up scents of charcoal, asphalt, black currants, incense, and crushed rocks. This deep, medium to full-bodied, well-made Margaux is broader, richer, and more substantial than usual, with more alcohol as well as substance. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated. This is a 30-year wine. (Tasted two times.)
89 Wine Spectator
Fresh and clean, with a moderate range of damson plum, blackberry and licorice notes backed by easygoing toast on the iron-tinged finish. Best from 2013 through 2020. 7,080 cases made. –JM

Château Rauzan-Gassies
The origins of the noble house of Gassies in the Médoc go back to Medieval times. The Lords of Gassies were considered knights and owed allegiance to the owners of Château Margaux. Monsieur de Rauzan acquired the seigneury in 1661 and is responsible for establishing the reputation of its wine. The estate was divided into two parts in 1785. The name of one of these, Rauzan-Gassies, very much reflects its historic roots. Since 1946, Second Growth Château Rauzan-Gassies has belonged to the Quié family, who also owns Croizet-Bages and Bel Orme Tronquoy de Lalande. Monsieur Paul Quié undertook a major renovation of the vineyard during the postwar period. This was finalized by his son, Jean-Michel, who took over management in 1968. He is assisted by his children, Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe, in overseeing the three family châteaux. Their passion for fine wine is very much in the tradition of the great growths of Bordeaux, and one of Jean-Michel Quié's greatest pleasures is to share his wine with people who are dear to him.
