A firm red with blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors. Medium body, slightly chewy tannins and a medium finish. - James Suckling

The 2021 Château Rauzan-Gassies is a meaty, slightly rustic Margaux offering quality red and black fruits, medium-bodied richness, good mid-palate density, and a satisfying, mouth-filling style.

Notions of minty cassis, loamy soil and plums introduce the 2021 Rauzan-Gassies, a medium-bodied and supple but rather lean, mean wine that doesn't do any credit to the 1855 classification.
