The structure and complexity of a great red wine from Margaux
The property
A Grand Cru Classé from Margaux, the Château Rauzan-Ségla is one of those prestigious Bordeaux wines with a thrilling history. For 350 years, Rauzan-Ségla has sought precision by repeating the same gestures of a craft combining art and craftsmanship. Second Cru Classé in 1855, Château Rauzan-Ségla is one of the most prestigious references of the Margaux appellation.
The vineyard
The vines dedicated to this vintage are on average 30 years old and spread over 51 hectares. In the heart of the Margaux appellation, the Château Rauzan-Ségla vineyard is located, near the Gironde, on fine and deep clayey gravels typical of this terroir.
The vintage
A mild and rainy winter gives way to a cool spring in April, then warmer and drier. The cool and humid conditions of July are offset by a hot August. September is marked by a mix of sunny days and coolness.
Vinification and aging
Manual harvest. Parcel and intra-parcel vinification in thermoregulated stainless steel vats. Aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
Blend
Cabernet sauvignon (63%)
Merlot (34%)
Cabernet franc (3%).
