94-95  James Suckling

"Pretty sample of RG this year with lots of blackberry and blackcurrant character. Full and juicy with solid tannins."

92-94 Antonio Galloni for Vinous

"The 2022 Rauzan Gassies is fabulous. Rich and dramatic, the 2022 offers up copious inky fruit, crème de cassis, lavender, menthol, chocolate and sage. The 2022 is an especially flamboyant Rauzan Gassies, but all the elements are very nicely put together. It will be interesting to revisit this in bottle."

92-94 Jeb Dunnuck

"A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend that includes roughly 20% Merlot, the 2022 Château Rauzan-Gassies might end up being the finest vintage I've tasted from this château. Loaded with red, blue, and black fruits, it's medium to full-bodied, has supple, elegant tannins, classic aromatics of lead pencil and dried flowers, and outstanding length"

93 Jane Anson

"A highly successful Rauzan Gassies that provides a understated, nuanced interpretation of the vintage, with waves of red rose and peony floral aromatics and toasted spice from the first nose. Has depth and concentration of black cherry and cassis fruits, and balances the flash of heat with plenty of white pepper and cinnammon notes, fresh lemongrass acidities and a lift through the palate. Impressive from the Quié family, and should be good value."

93 Decanter

"Juicy and clean, this has a lovely soft elegance, lighter in terms of fruit density than some, but still super tannic, they're fleshy but cool and really fill the mouth. This keeps the precision though, a full and dense wine, but stays the right side in all the areas - acidity, fruit, tannins, freshness and length. Nice potential here for a really enjoyable easy drinking wine still with flavour and structure. Tasted twice. Harvest 9-26 September. Yield of 29hl/ha. Ageing in French oak for 18 months."
