Tasting notes
Still quite lively, crisp, richly fruity, and full on the palate, the 1966 Rauzan-Gassies has a spicy, mushroom-like aroma, robust, rather aggressive flavors, and a rather hard, coarse finish. It is an interesting, rather rustic-styled wine. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 4/83.

About the producer

The Quié family purchased Pauillac Fifth Growth Ch. Croizet-Bages in 1942, adding Rauzan-Gassies four years later. Once part of the same estate as the neighbouring Rauzan-Ségla, this Margaux property was split off in time for the 1855 Classification, earning Second Growth status.
