Mittleres Rubin, feiner Rand aussen. Blaubeeriges Bouquet, reife Zwetschgen, Tabaknoten, Rauch, zeigt sich recht tiefgründig und weist einen deutlich würzigen Cabernettouch auf. Fleischiger Gaumen, fester Extrakt, stützende Adstringenz, schwarzbeeriges Finale mit viel Lakritze. Sicherlich ein Wein der wie immer unterschätzt wird (auch von uns?). Seine mögliche Grösse liegt in seiner Tiefe! (17/20). 11: Momentan mit deutlicher Note nach dunkler Brotkruste, heller Tabak, erstaunlich offen. Im Gaumen tänzerisch und elegant, besonders feine Tannine zeigend. Hat irgendwie Lust, sich einen Punkt dazu zu verdienen.

A touch soft, but persistent, with pretty floral, mulled plum and tobacco notes that glide over light, rounded tannins. The pure finish lets the fruit hang elegantly. This wins on balance rather than depth. Drink now through 2014. 10,500 cases made. — JM

Deep garnet in color, the 2008 Rauzan-Ségla has a rather rustic nose of sweaty leather, tobacco and dried herbs over a core of dried mulberries, prunes and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the mid-palate has just enough earthy/savory flavors with chewy tannins and a drying finish. The blend this year is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot, harvested between October 2nd and 21st, at an average yield of 47 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, 60% new. The alcohol is 13.5%.<br/>

Château Rauzan-Ségla
In 1661, Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan acquired an estate which he named after himself. Over the next two centuries, his successors succeeded remarkably well in enhancing the reputation of Château Rauzan-Ségla, which was one of the favourite wines of Thomas Jefferson. Acquired by Chanel in 1994, this second growth has made major investments in order to be fully worthy of its reputation and rank. Château Rauzan-Ségla currently has sixty-six hectares of vines. These are respectfully tended: sustainable methods are used, the soil is ploughed, the vineyard is managed plot-by-plot, the grapes are hand-picked into small crates, and then sorted twice before fermentation. These are just a few of the steps taken to ensure outstanding quality. Rauzan-Ségla has a generous bouquet with a great deal of finesse. It epitomises the internationally recognized and much appreciated qualities of the finest wines of Margaux.
