The 2017 Ségla is soft, open-knit and quite pretty, just as it was en primeur. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, dried flowers, mint and new leather all grace this very pretty, nuanced Margaux. Floral aromatics and silky tannins add to the wine's considerable immediacy. This is such a pretty and enticing wine, especially for medium-term drinking.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Ségla sings of warm black cherries, blackberry pie and wild blueberries with hints of redcurrant jelly and black tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with straightforward red and black berry flavors with a soft texture and well-poised finish.
Producer
Château Rauzan Segla
In 1994, Château Rauzan-Ségla was acquired by the Wertheirmer family. The Wertheirmers, who are also responsible for the famous Chanel perfume business, worked to reinforce the Second Growth’s status and rank. With a long history dating back to 1661, the château owes its name to founder, Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan and its reputation to the many successful owners over these past few centuries. Today, the Wertheirmers’ thorough renovations have further ensured the estate’s outstanding quality through sustainable farming techniques and modernizing their vinification facilities. Using temperature-controlled stainless steel for fermentation, their wines are then aged in 60% new oak barrels for 18 months. Rauzan-Ségla is one of the most appreciated châteaux in Margaux, specifically for their signature bouquet of aromas and finesse. With the assistance of John Kolasa, former enologist at the family’s Saint-Émilion estate, Château Canon, the property produces complex 2ème Grand Cru Classé wines. The flagship, Rauzan-Ségla is a glorious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
