Description

Château Rauzan-Gassies 2009, Margaux

The 2009 vintage was a modern classic in Bordeaux — warm, generous, and remarkably consistent — and Château Rauzan-Gassies captures its spirit with poise and refinement. As a distinguished Deuxième Cru Classé of Margaux, the château’s 2009 bottling exemplifies both the power and perfume that define this celebrated appellation. It is a wine of depth and charm, offering the richness of a great year balanced by the elegance for which Margaux is renowned.

In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby-garnet hue with youthful vibrancy. The nose is immediately expressive, layered with ripe blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry, accented by floral notes of violet and hints of cedar, vanilla, and graphite. Subtle undertones of spice and mocha add warmth and complexity as the wine opens, inviting slow appreciation.

The palate is supple and polished, showing beautifully integrated tannins and a silky texture. Juicy blackberry and cassis flavours unfold alongside notes of cocoa, toast, and tobacco, framed by fresh acidity that lends lift and definition. There is both power and grace here — a hallmark of the exceptional 2009 vintage — leading to a long, harmonious finish that lingers with dark fruit and gentle spice.

Now entering its ideal drinking window, Château Rauzan-Gassies 2009 combines approachability with the potential for further development over the next decade. Decant an hour before serving and enjoy at 17–18°C with roast duck, fillet of beef, or mushroom-based dishes. A refined Margaux of genuine class — elegant, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
