2023 Château Rauzan-Ségla, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon; 13.5% Cabernet Franc; 1.5% Petit Verdot.

This is an incredibly harmonious expression of Rauzan-Ségla, and without doubt one of the wines of the vintage. It is truly exceptional. Cabernet Sauvignon is “the centrepiece of the vintage”, according to the property. It provides layers of concentration, with a backbone of beguiling dark fruits, cedar, liquorice and violet. The palate gradually builds and is kept in focus by fine, supple tannins.

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.

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.
