97 Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Rauzan-Ségla offers up an expressive nose of baked blackberries, kirsch, warm cassis and baked plums with hints of cigar box and tilled soil. Full-bodied, rich and expansive in the mouth, it has layer upon layer of bold red and black fruit preserves with earthy accents and a velvety texture, finishing long and lively. The blend this year is 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, harvested between September 10th and October 9th, at an average yield of 40 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, 65% new. The alcohol is 14%, and the pH is 3.7<br/>

Juicy and bright, with lots of energy to the red currant and plum fruit, laced with savory, iron and black tea notes. A velvety edge pulls the finish together. Shows good character, with less reliance on flashy oak.—J.M.

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Fruchtig, florales Bouquet, vielschichtig und delikat, relativ wenig Fruchtdruck aufweisend. Im Gaumen seidig, elegant, passende Adstringenz zeigend. Er ist sehr schwierig einzuschätzen, andere Margaux' sind einfach lauter und geben mehr her. Ich habe ihn noch einmal auf der Union des Grands Crus auf du Tertre nach verkostet. Da hat er mich dann doch überzeugt. 18/20 2025 – 2045

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.
