Certainly not to be passed by if one should come your way, the Rauzan-Gassies is, however, less successful in this vintage than many of its second-growth peers. Dark ruby, with significant browning at the edges, the wine has an open-knit, fully mature, spicy, oaky, plummy, toffee-scented bouquet, moderately rich, soft, fruity flavors, and a supple, velvety finish. It is very attractive, but lighter in style than most 1961s. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/83.
Informazioni sul produttore
The Quié family purchased Pauillac Fifth Growth Ch. Croizet-Bages in 1942, adding Rauzan-Gassies four years later. Once part of the same estate as the neighbouring Rauzan-Ségla, this Margaux property was split off in time for the 1855 Classification, earning Second Growth status.
