Château Rauzan-Gassies: the history of the estate
Château Rauzan-Gassies was ranked first among Margaux’ s second growths in the 18th century. This same château was awarded the title of second grand cru in 1855. In 1946, it became the property of Monsieur Paul Quié, a wine enthusiast living in Paris. Sadly, Mr. Quié died in 1968 and bequeathed the continuity of Château Rauzan-Gassies to his son Jean-Michel. This was the period when the château underwent major modernization and renovation. Jean-Philippe and Anne-Françoise, Jean-Michel’s two children, took over the Rauzan-Gassies business in 2000. The chateau has grown in size and plot size under their management. It’s sure to have a bright future ahead of it.
