Château Château Rauzan Gassies
Château Rauzan Gassies
Château Rauzan Gassies
While the noble house of Chevalier de Gassies is one of the oldest in Margaux, the wine history of Château Rauzan-Gassies begins in the 18th century. This château was created by Mr Pierre DESMEZURES DE RAUZAN, a merchant and also tenant of the noble house of Latour. This position allowed him to collect seigneurial rights and increase his own assets. He bought many plots from neighbouring farmers and thus, in about twenty years, at the end of the 17th century, he created two beautiful vineyards, that of Rauzan-Gassies but also that of Pichon-Longueville, two future classified growths. Rauzan-Gassies wines have always enjoyed a certain reputation in England, thanks to Mr de Rauzan's approach of selling his harvests himself aboard a ship he chartered to the port of London. Mr de Rauzan, later Counsellor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, left his mark on the property's label in the form of wings protecting grape clusters. During the 1855 classification, RAUZAN GASSIES wines were classified as second growths. It was in 1946 that Mr Paul QUIE, a certified wine broker in Bercy (Wine trading centre for Paris and its region) whose father was already in the profession, bought this vineyard thus following numerous predecessors, such as Mr Rhoné-Péraire who, in the 19th century, had a particularly positive impact on the growth's reputation. In 1968, his son Jean Michel took over the management of the estate; he has been assisted since 1995 by Mr Jean-Louis CAMP, and since 2001 by his children, Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe QUIE.
