WineDiva's Review

Expressive, harmonious, pretty.
The Quie family has owned Chateau Rauzan~Gassies since 1946; they have 30 hectares of estate vines in Margaux and 30 hectares in the Haut~Medoc.
This outstanding blend of Merlot (66%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (34%) was aged 12 months in French oak barrels.
A Bordeaux blend which absolutely sings with pretty notes of chocolate and vanilla, Ribena and red licorice, violets and baking spice. A generous mouthfilling wine, it boasts expressive purple berries, chocolate and sweet spice flavours. Wonderfully harmonious, balanced and pleasing--a sensual wine and one of Winescores.ca's highest scoring wines of 2021.
