Winery:Château Rauzan-Gassies Brand / Producer name:Rauzan-Gassies Grapes:Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot Region:France / Bordeaux / Margaux Volume:750ml Vintage:2011 Description:A classic Margaux from a challenging vintage, Rauzan-Gassies 2011 shows a more restrained and traditional Bordeaux style. It leans toward elegance rather than power, with medium body, refined tannins, and a subtle expression of dark fruit layered with earthy and herbal nuances. The wine reflects its terroir with a slightly austere but structured character that benefits from aeration or aging. Food Pairing:Roast lamb, grilled beef, duck breast, mushroom dishes, aged cheeses TASTING NOTES Nose – Aromas of blackcurrant, dried plum, cedar, tobacco, and hints of graphite and earthy forest floor. Taste – Medium-bodied with flavors of dark berries, cassis, and subtle spice, supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity. Slight herbal and mineral notes add complexity. Finish – Dry and structured, with lingering notes of oak, spice, and earthy dark fruit.
