Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Florale Würze, schwarze Kirschen, Holunder und heller Tabak, mittlerer Druck im Ansatz. Im Gaumen fein stoffig, schön ausgelegt und mit herrlich reifen Tanninen. Wie immer kein Primeur- Blender, aber mit einer schönen Grand-Cru- Lebensversicherung ausgestattet. 18/20 2022 – 2052

The deep garnet colored 2014 Rauzan-Ségla reveals an open-knit, expressive nose of potpourri, unsmoked cigars, spice box and red loam with a core of plum preserves, blackcurrant jelly and bay leaves plus a touch of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied with compelling earthy layers and a real savoriness in the mouth, it has firm, chunky tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a lingering mineral note. The blend this year is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, harvested between September 22nd and October 16th, at an average yield of 37 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, 60% new. The alcohol is 13.5%, and the pH is 3.59.<br/>
91 Wine Spectator
This has a lightly firm singed alder frame, which works well with the core of dark currant and plum fruit, melding easily with a velvety back end that lets alluring black tea and anise notes emerge steadily. A bit flashy in style, but will certainly have fans. Best from 2019 through 2029. 9,167 cases made.

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.
