Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Delikates Maulbeerenbouquet mit feinen exotischen Hölzern und würzigen Teenuancen, es schwingt eine schöne Süsse mit im Nasenbild. Im Gaumen eher leicht wirkend, seidige Tannine, saftiger Fluss, ansprechende Länge. Eine Light-Variante und dem modernen Claret-Stil des Jahrganges dokumentierend. Powersucher werden sich wohl von ihm abwenden müssen. Und Finessensucher werden strahlen.

Good flesh to the plum and cherry paste notes. Finish is relatively rounded, with a good red licorice edge. Not a ton of range but this managed to get some flesh, and delivers nice mouthfeel too. —J.M.

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. The blend this year is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, harvested between September 22nd and October 16th, at an average yield of 32 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, 60% new. The alcohol is 13.5%, and the pH is 3.5.<br/>
Producer
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.
