2011 Château Rauzan-Ségla, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

This is almost as stylish as Coco Chanel herself. The ever frank John Kolasa has really worked wonders this vintage and it pushes Ch. Palmer and Ch. Margaux for top honors. Perfumed red currant fruit jumps straight out of the glass, with a darker earthier forest fruit edge following on. There is a grainy, floral lift that comes through and it really adds to the aromatic pyrotechnics here! Full, fresh and rounded with sweetness of fruit, you really feel the texture and fresh crunch in the mouth. This is considered and focused with great length. It is super impressive this year. 2017-2032.

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 93/100
The grand vin, the 2011 Rauzan Segla, is a beauty. Aromas of spring flowers, graphite, creme de cassis and kirsch jump from the glass of this dense purple-colored 2011. Lots of nobility, complexity and richness characterize a wine that could be mistaken for a first-growth in 2011. This medium to full-bodied, concentrated, gorgeously pure, well-balanced beauty should be forgotten for 2-4 years and drunk over the following 15-20. Kudos to administrator John Kolasa and his team.Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 30/04/2014

Very good concentration of blackcurrant Cabernet fruit, lots of energy and vineyard length, a beautifully extracted wine with elegance and depth, classic Margaux.

Modern style, with a good fleshy feel and a nice smoky edge to the currant, fig and melted licorice notes. Stays velvety through the finish, with the flavors melding nicely. Wine Spectator's 2011 Top-Scoring Red Bordeaux james_molesworth, Wine Spectator, April 10, 2012

About this wine

Chateau Rauzan-Segla

Château Rauzan-Ségla and Mouton Rothschild were considered the leading 2emé Cru Classé Bordeaux properties during the 19th century. However, while the fortunes of Mouton prospered in the 20th century, culminating in its elevation to 1er Cru status in 1973, Rauzan-Ségla`s reputation dwindled and a succession of disappointing wines were produced.

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
