Margaux 2021: Left Bank elegance from gravel-clay slopes, aged in French oak with restrained new-wood influence.
Château Rauzan-Gassies occupies a south-facing plateau in the heart of Margaux, where gravel-rich soils over clay substructure define the appellation's signature textural precision. The 2021 vintage was unified with extended maceration to extract mid-palate
density without sacrificing the site's natural finesse, then aged 18 months in French oak (approximately 40% new), allowing secondary fermentation to complete in barrel.
The 2021 expresses the vintage's moderate ripeness with restraint—a deliberate counterpoint to riper Left Bank expressions. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend, supported by Merlot and Petit Verdot, each contributing structure without overstatement. Drinking window opens now through 2035; the wine gains complexity through mid-decade but remains approachable in youth.
Sommelier’s pick: Beef en croûte with mushroom duxelles · Roasted lamb shoulder with thyme jus · Duck breast with cherry gastrique
