Producer
Chateau Rauzan-Segla was established in 1661 by Pierre des Mesures de Rauzan. The estate is currently producing some of the best wine of the Margaux commune. The sand and gravel soils of the appellation support Cabernet Sauvignon, contributing depth and structure to the wine, whilst a relatively high proportion of Merlot contributes a soft, supple texture.
Tasting Notes
This is the second wine of Château Rauzan-Ségla, an estate that is currently producing some of the best wine of Margaux. Slightly more Merlot and just 15% new oak ensures that the Segla blend is ripe and flattering. An intense and seductive bouquet combines perfumed rose petal, spice and cedar aromas leading to a complex palate rich with flavours of sweet cherry, redcurrant and mineral.
Food
Serve alongside roast joints of beef or lamb, haunch of venison, roasted root vegetables and wild mushrooms and well flavoured cheeses.
