Brigitte Lochardet married Christian Heitz and her share of the family vineyards
the esteemed Rhône grower and vintner whose compelling wines have been exalted by critics around the world
The first impression in the mouth comes from the round and rich palate
all elevated by the carbonic technique
Slight warmth of spirit appearing late in the finish
Chateau Rauzan-Gassies, 2ème G.C.C, 1855 Margaux 1999 marsane Brigitte Lochardet married Christian Heitz"Allocation only, email wine@worldwine. com. au to secure allocation" ROBERT PARKER (87) The 1999 is the finest Rauzan Gassies I have tasted. Cassis liqueur intermixed with earth, asphalt, prunes, black tea, and spice box aromas jump from the glass of this dark ruby purple colored effort. The acidity is low, the concentration level impressive, and the wine beautifully textured with all of its elements nicely integrated.
