The 28.5 hectare, Left Bank, Bordeaux vineyard of Chateau Rauzan Gassies has a terroir of gravel and sand soils. The vineyard is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon , 25% Merlot , 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot . The average age of the vines is 35 years.
A little tight with currant and blackberry character, a medium body and a chewy finish. Slightly lean, but this should fill out nicely in barrel.
