Tasting notes
This elegant, soft, fresh, light to medium-bodied, pleasant wine lacks substance as well as depth. It will provide superficial charm over the next 5-7 years.

Some pleasant fruit in this wine, with berry, currant and chocolate character. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1999

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.
