Experience the exceptional grandeur of the Rauzan-Gassies 1961, an extraordinary product of Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Born from the acclaimed Margaux appellation in the wine-producing region of Bordeaux, France, the Rauzan-Gassies estate has been crafting wines of unparalleled quality since the late 18th century. The 1961 vintage was a product of the artisan mastery behind Rauzan-Gassies' winemaking. Skilfully cultivated, handpicked Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes matured in oak casks, contributed to its robust structure, rich flavours, and long, expressive finish. The Rauzan-Gassies 1961 stands as a perfect embodiment of Bordeaux’s heritage – its garnet hue will enchant you, while notes of mature red fruits and hints of truffle and leather exhibit a testament of time. Truly, Rauzan-Gassies 1961 is more than just a wine; it's a grand lesson in history, a narrative bottled up for aficionados and collectors. |

Wine Spectator (92)Best ever from this estate. Fabulous aromas of blackberries and ripe currants. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. An excellent quality wine. Best after 2010. 12,500 cases made. -JS |

Wine Advocate (92)Significantly better from bottle than it was from barrel, the 2005 Rauzan-Gassies appears to be the finest wine this estate has ever produced. Dense purple-hued with a beautiful perfume of camphor, creme de cassis, licorice, bay leaf, and incense, it is a full-bodied, stunningly concentrated, broad, rich Margaux with lovely integrated tannins. This backward 2005 will handsomely repay cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2030+. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2009 Rauzan-Gassies has a refined bouquet with blackberry, cedar and light graphite notes, maybe a little closed down though, it opens nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, and fine acidity. Chewy with plenty of blackberry and bilberry fruit laced with sea salt and brine towards the finish. Give it another coupe of years. Not amazing, but certainly one of the best recent vintages that I have encountered. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. |

Jeb Dunnuck (92+)One of the more structured wines in the vintage is the 2015 Chateau Rauzan-Gassies. Deep ruby/purple colored with a fabulous bouquet of currants, charcoal, black cherries and crushed rocks, it is a full-bodied, incredibly pure, concentrated Margaux that has integrated tannin and a focused, chiseled feel. Forget bottles for 5-6 years and it should reward for upwards of two decades. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90+)The 2017 Rauzan Gassies is expressive and full of energy, but also done in a somewhat compact style. Dried cherry, iron, mint, white pepper, grilled herbs, cedar and tobacco come together in the glass. I very much like the wine's energy, even if the contours are a bit austere today. The 2017 could turn out to be even better than this note suggests if the tannin soften. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (96)The 2019 Rauzan-Ségla is a statuesque Margaux that is all in reserve. There is plenty of power and depth, but the 2019 is pretty closed today. Even so, the 2019 is clearly a wine of harmony and exquisite balance that is playing its cards close to the vest. Sweet dark cherry, plum, licorice spice and a touch of new oak are laced into the vibrant, persistent finish. The 2019 is a super-classic Rauzan-Ségla that will thrill those who can wait. Tasted three times. |

James Suckling (94-95)Complex aromas of blackcurrant, black truffle, walnut, bark and earth follow through to a full body with dense, refined tannins that are layered and chewy, yet silky. Very long finish. Best since 2015? |

Jancis Robinson (16.5)Crimson with a pink rim. Lots of freshness on a lifted nose. Solid rendition with enough fruit for the acidity even if without much distinction or character. No one would be disappointed by this wine. Tannins are ripe enough and not too dominant. A very good effort for this château. |

James Suckling (93-94)Creamy and tight tannins here, alongside succulent dark-berry, spice and crushed-stone notes. It’s medium-bodied, firm and focused with a velvety finish. |
