The de Rauzan family develops the quality and reputation of its wines which it sells itself in England. The wines are considered 2 nd cru of Margaux in 1745 . Thomas Jefferson, a great fan and future President of the United States, was a client of Rauzan at the end of the 18th century. In 1763 the domain of Rauzan was split into two, a part giving birth to Rauzan-Ségla following the marriage of Catherine de Rauzan, heiress, with Baron Pierre Louis de Ségla in 1785. The remaining part, kept in joint possession, and its wine , which changed its name several times, permanently became Rauzan-Gassies in 1839 .
Like Rauzan-Ségla, the wine was classified 2 nd grand cru in 1855. From 1867, the estate had 4 successive owners and was then sold in 1946 to Paul Quié, wine broker in Paris, owner of Croizet-Bages since 1942. His son succeeded him in 1968 and it is currently his grandchildren, Jean-Philippe and Anne-Françoise Quié, who are in charge of the property . Jean-Philippe Quié is in charge of the estate with the help of Jean-Louis Camp, oenologist, Technical and Commercial Director.
The 28 ha vineyard, located in the communes of Margaux and Cantenac, extends over soils composed of deep gravel and gravelly sands.
