Chateau Rausan-Gassies is a second growth from Margaux.
Chateau Rauzan Gassies started out life in the middle of the seventeenth century. At the time, it was a part of the gigantic Rauzan estate owned by Pierre de Mesures de Rauzan. After World War 2, in 1946, Chateau Rauzan Gassies was sold to Quié family. They still own Chateau Rauzan Gassies today as well as Chateau Croizet-Bages in Pauillac and Chateau Bel Orme Tronquoy de Lalande, a Cru Bourgeois estate in the Medoc .
1962 Bordeaux wine is the product of a warm, dry, sunny May which promoted good flowering. This was followed by a warm summer and a hot September. Only minor rain fell during the 1962 Bordeaux harvest which took place at the end of September through some of October. By October 1, the 1962 Bordeaux harvest was in full bloom as all the chateaux were busy picking by that date. While 1961 Bordeaux was the product of a small vintage with low yields, 1962 Bordeaux wine came from a large crop. The 1962 is often overshadowed by the "61" but was still a very good vintage.
