The Gassier family bought Château Gassier and its 40 hectares of vines in 1982. Today the vineyard is managed by Georges Gassier, who represents the fifth winegrowing generation of the family, working with the support from his father. It is only over time that passion, hard work and know-how combined, have helped Château Gassier to develop its exceptional potential for excellence.
The creation of 946 rosé requires a precise winemaking based on a fine and delicate assembly of three bases of wine. A wine from the heavier parts of the juice (lees) previously stored at low temperature (4°C), and then filtered. This base gives to the wine roundness in the mouth. Another base comes from the alcoholic fermentation in half muid (500l) of new Austrian oak (Stockinger) which gives complexity. The last base comes from the fermentation between 14°C and 16°C in concrete tank to reveal aromas.
