Decanter

Supple and gentle with softly chewy tannins and a cool blue fruit element. Relatively quiet with some oak, tobacco and cedar touches just adding a spiced layer above everything else right now but there’s finely textured tannins and a long finish. Full of fruit but with clear oak. Plenty of tannic heft but this will round out nicely.

Violets, peonies, black cherries, licorice, espresso beans, and mint show easily in the perfume. The medium-bodied palate is soft, juicy, forward, fresh, and fruity, with a refined, polished character in the mid-palate, that carries through to the finish. Drink from 2030-2055. 92-94 Pts

An enjoyable Rauzan Gassies, it has plenty of potential, it's juicy and well extracted, softly so, with bounce and juice, old school in its charm, but deliciously so. 60% new oak for ageing.

Yves Beck

Inviting nuances of black berries paired with spicy notes. Slightly creamy on the palate, the wine develops in a linear fashion. It isn’t especially deep, but it is driven by somewhat firm yet well-integrated tannins and by an acidity that brings a structuring freshness.

A beautiful deep, purplish red. Moderately intense nose with ripe fruit. Delicate on entry, flavoursome through the mid-palate, with a more nuanced progression of sensations than is sometimes the case; the wine develops into a juicy, long finish, with plenty of flavour and, finally, a classy, refined texture. Very good. Blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot. Alcohol: 13.5%.

Vinum

On the nose, herbal notes with a hint of bell pepper, then blackcurrant and a touch of cola plant; on the palate, medium-bodied, with fruit ripened to perfection and fine, never overly dominant tannins that provide structure; pleasantly long, fruit-driven finish with sour cherries and blood orange. A successful Rauzan-Gassies.

Description

Characteristics and tasting notes of Château Rauzan-Gassies 2025

Tasting

Appearance
This wine reveals a deep and particularly intense colour.

Nose
The aromatic bouquet is fruity and spicy, unveiling lovely notes of plum, cherry and blackcurrant. Subtle peppery hints intertwine with delicately integrated oak.

Palate
The attack is soft and velvety. The structure relies on ripe, perfectly melted tannins, offering both concentration and beautiful density. The fruit expression remains delicate and stretches towards a long, elegant finish.

Food and wine pairings
This cuvée pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, such as duck or feathered game. It will also perfectly accompany light beef dishes served with classic sauces, as well as aged cheeses with subtle flavours.

Serving and cellaring
Château Rauzan-Gassies 2025 has excellent cellaring potential, allowing it to age for decades in the cellar to develop its full complexity.

The elegance of a great Margaux by Château Rauzan-Gassies

The estate
Founded in the 17th century by Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan, Château Rauzan-Gassies is a prestigious wine estate located in Margaux, in the Bordeaux region. Classified as a 2nd Grand Cru in 1855, the vineyard stretches over 30 hectares of gravelly soils, fostering wines of great aromatic complexity. Since 1946, the Quié family, led by Jean-Philippe Quié, has been perpetuating tradition by combining ancestral expertise with oenological innovation. Awarded the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (Living Heritage Company) distinction since April 2024, this historic estate asserts its unique identity.

The vineyard
The production area extends over 28 hectares in the heart of the Margaux appellation. The vines, averaging 35 years old, are planted at a high density of 10,000 vines per hectare on soils composed of deep gravel and sandy gravel. Located within a Natura 2000 classified zone, the estate is certified High Environmental Value (HVE). Soil work, Poussard pruning, disbudding and leaf thinning reflect a meticulous viticulture that is respectful of its environment.

The vintage
The 2025 vintage was marked by very hot weather conditions, accompanied by a significant rainfall deficit. This climate fostered an early growing cycle and made it possible to harvest grapes in perfect sanitary condition, entirely free from cryptogamic diseases.

Vinification and ageing
Under the technical direction of oenologist Eric Boissenot, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature between 26 and 28°C for 12 to 13 days. Daily pump-overs are carried out, followed by a 20-day maceration. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tanks and barrels. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 55% of which are new. Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape varieties
Including 14% press wine, the blend consists of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot.
