Chateau Rauzan Gassies 2017

A distinguished Second Growth Margaux, Château Rauzan-Gassies reveals elegant aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, violet, cedar, graphite, tobacco, and subtle baking spice. Richly structured yet beautifully refined, it delivers silky tannins, vibrant freshness, remarkable precision, and a long, graceful finish with excellent aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, mushroom risotto, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

This wine's tannins are firm and bold, giving structure to the juicy black fruits. It has weight while preserving plenty of the Margaux elegance. The wine will age well, so drink from 2024. 

92 Points - James Suckling

Bright and floral with blueberries and hints of chocolate and hazelnuts in both the nose and palate. Medium to full body, layers of cool tannins and a tangy finish. Wait until 2022, to allow it to soften a little.
