Château Rauzan-Gassies (Margaux)
Medium bodied, with a cherry, tobacco tinged, floral nose. Soft, but with firm tannins, and a finish that is about its red berry freshness, more time is still required here, for this to come together. 5,291 Views Tasted Sep 18, 2017 |
When to Drink Chateau Rauzan Gassies, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Rauzan Gassies can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1-2 hours, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Chateau Rauzan Gassies is usually better with at least 6-8 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Rauzan Gassies offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-20 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Rauzan Gassies with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
