"Classified as one of the fifteen esteemed estates to earn Second Growth status, Château Rauzan-Gassies was once part of a larger estate encompassing Château Rauzan-Ségla, Château Desmirail, and Château Marquis de Terme. 1978 was a "four star" vintage according to Decanter: "An excellent year for both red and white wines...While they never had the pretensions of '70 or '75, (they) have probably given more pleasure for longer than either." -K&L
