Description
A rich and full-bodied red wine from Margaux
The estate
Monsieur de Rauzan purchased the lordship and its vineyards at the beginning of Louis XIV's reign. Thanks to his winemaking expertise, he made the Château Rauzan-Gassies the first Second Cru Classé of Margaux in the Bordeaux region. The estate now belongs to the Quié family.
The vineyard
The Château Rauzan-Gassies 2023 is a Margaux wine from a 28-hectare vineyard in production. The vines, averaging 35 years old, are planted on deep gravel and gravelly sands.
The vintage
2023 is a year marked by a significant early vegetative cycle due to warm and humid climatic conditions. A dry end of summer with high temperatures precedes a September punctuated by rains ensuring optimal maturity of the berries.
Vinification and ageing
The grapes are hand-picked and undergo parcel vinification in stainless steel tanks ranging from 12 to 120 hectolitres. Thermo-regulated fermentation between 26 and 28°C is accompanied by 2 to 3 pump-overs per day. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in barrels and tanks. The ageing lasts 18 months in French oak barrels, 55% of which are new.
Blend
The Château Rauzan-Gassies 2023 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (89%) and Merlot (11%).
