Always one of the top performers in Margaux, this dense and concentrated wine has a bold, ripe character from the plum and berry fruits. It has the weight to develop. Drink from 2020. (Cellar Selection)
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]

The Margaux appellation of France's legendary Bordeaux wine region is one of the world's most famous and highly respected viticultural areas. For centuries, Margaux has been deeply associated with extremely fine wines of the highest quality, made using traditional and time-honored techniques in order to extract the very best, most refined and elegant flavors and aromas from the Bordeaux varietal grapes which grow there. Margaux wines are almost always blended, using two or three key Bordeaux grapes, commonly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (amongst others). The blending techniques and quantities have been passed down through the generations in the ancestral chateaus which make up the region, and quality and prestige has never been allowed to falter, making Margaux one of the undisputed jewels in France's already glittering crown.

Tasted twice before, Rauzan-Segla has always shown high quality. The nose is oaky and vibrant, with firm blackcurrant aromas. There's ample upfront fruit as well as discreet tannins, and there's good structure and grip, even if the finish is a tad dry. Delicious but it may not be especially long-lived.

Extremely perfumed and pretty for the vintage with rose petal, currant, berry and hints of citrus. Medium to full body, firm tannins and refreshing acidity. Flavorful and bright. Drink in 2018.

Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2013 Rauzan-Ségla gives up notes of warm plums, Morello cherries, cassis and espresso with hints of dried Provence herbs, woodsmoke and damp soil. Medium bodied, the palate gives lovely freshness and bags of earth-laced red and black fruits with a chewy texture and a lively herbal lift on the finish.

A terrific success in a difficult vintage, the 2013 Rauzan-Ségla is made from 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It has a medium-bodied, balanced, elegant style as well as impressive black cherry and currant fruits, hints of cedar, and some background herbal characteristics. It’s a vibrant, juicy Margaux to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years.

A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2013 Rauzan-Segla is deep garnet-colored, with a touch of brick. It tumbles from the glass with mature notes of tobacco leaf, leather sofa, Chinese five spice, and truffles, plus wafts of dried cranberries and Morello cherries, with a touch of dried herbs. The medium-bodied palate has a racy backbone and chewy tannins framing the mature, dried red berry and savory flavors, finishing on a stewed tea note.

Focused, with a light juniper edge guiding the enticing core of plum, black currant and black tea notes along. A fine-grained structure carries the finish. Nicely done for the vintage. Drink now through 2020. 7,083 cases made.
