Château Rauzan-Gassies is a Second Growth Classified Estate in Margaux since 1855, established on 30 hectares of deep gravel soils between Margaux and Cantenac. Owned by the Quié family since 1946, the estate vinifies a classic Bordeaux dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe Quié at its helm since 2000. The château obtained the Living Heritage Company label in 2024, recognising its family savoir-faire and relentless pursuit of excellence.

L'histoire du domaine

The noble house of Gassies, a former fiefdom of the lordship of Château Margaux, has its origins in medieval times. In 1661, chevalier Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan acquired this seigneury and initiated the great viticultural history of the estate. Drawing on his experience gained at Château Latour, where he served as tenant farmer, and later at Château Margaux, he built an exceptional vineyard: the Domaine de Rauzan. Legend has it that a violent hailstorm devastated the Margaux vineyards, miraculously sparing the chevalier's vines — birds were said to have protected the clusters with their wings over the Gassies locality. Since then, a winged coat of arms has adorned every château label. In 1763, the estate was divided in two following an inheritance, giving birth to Rauzan-Gassies and Rauzan-Ségla. Already considered from 1745 as the prime of the Second Growths in Margaux, Château Rauzan-Gassies was elevated to Second Growth in the imperial classification of 1855. In 1946, Paul Quié, a Parisian wine merchant and passionate enthusiast, acquired the property. Upon his death in 1968, his son Jean-Michel undertook an ambitious programme of vineyard restructuring and modernisation. In 2000, his children Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe joined the family venture. In 2012, the family reacquired Château Bel Orme Tronquoy-de-Lalande, the first property purchased by Paul Quié in 1936.

Le terroir

Located at the heart of the Parc naturel régional du Médoc, the vineyard of Château Rauzan-Gassies extends over 30 hectares in the Margaux appellation, spread across the communes of Margaux and Cantenac. The terroir rests on the massif of deep gravel and sandy-gravel soils that overlook the Gironde — those riverside gravels that form the very heart of the appellation. The finest gravel parcels are located in the immediate vicinity of the château, with elevations reaching up to 21 metres. The vineyard is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, at a vine density of 10,000 vines per hectare. The average age of the vines is 35 years. The estate practices sustainable viticulture and has been certified Haute Valeur Environnementale since 2020. A legacy of its centuries-old past, the property holds as many forests, meadows and marshlands as vineyards — some of these natural areas are part of the Natura 2000 site. The meadows are entrusted to a breeder of Blonde d'Aquitaine cattle, whose herd in return provides natural manure fertiliser for the vineyard. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats ranging from 25 to 150 hectolitres, with ageing for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 30 to 55% new depending on the vintage.

Les vins

The range of Château Rauzan-Gassies centres on the eponymous grand vin, a classic expression of Margaux dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by the second wine Chevalier de Rauzan-Gassies (or Les Ailes de Rauzan-Gassies depending on sources), vinified with the same care as its elder and mainly produced from young vines. The estate also produces L'Orme de Rauzan-Gassies, a cuvée in the Haut-Médoc appellation from parcels in Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne. The house style favours elegance and finesse over ostentatious power: deep garnet robe with violet reflections, complex nose of blackcurrant, cherry and dark fruits, with floral and spicy nuances, then with ageing notes of cedar, tobacco and sweet spices. On the palate, the attack is supple and frank, carried by silky, delicately coated tannins, with vibrant acidity and a long, mineral finish. These are wines built for cellaring, capable of evolving harmoniously over two to three decades, and which have progressively returned to the level of their classification since the 2015 vintage. Average production stands at around 11,000 cases per year for the grand vin.

Le vigneron

Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe Quié embody today the third generation of this Bordeaux family saga. Fraternal twins united by a shared passion for wine, they joined the family business in 2000 to perpetuate the work of their father Jean-Michel and their grandfather Paul. Their twin bond constitutes a rare strength: they share the same objectives whilst taking complementary paths to achieve them. Whilst Jean-Philippe, with a commercial background, ultimately found his calling on the technical side of the estate, Anne-Françoise, a graduate in oenology, turned towards marketing and the property's international outreach. Together, they analyse, refine and improve each stage of their winemaking processes, in a relentless pursuit of viticultural excellence. Their commitment was recognised in spring 2024 with the award of the prestigious Living Heritage Company label, a distinction bestowed by the French State that rewards the family's passionate engagement and guarantees the excellence of its know-how. For them, a family Grand Cru is above all a crossroad between exceptional terroirs and people who take the time to cherish them.
