Wine Description

About half of the 52 hectares of vineyard are around the château, but there are additional parcels near Margaux and Brane-Cantenac. The plantings are comprised of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc with an average vine age of 30 years and a yield of 32 hl/ha. Soils at Rauzan-Ségla are composed of deep, fine gravel which makes for natural irrigation

After hand harvesting and a double sorting, the fruit is gently crushed and then delivered to stainless tanks by gravity-flow where the fermentation begins. Alcoholic fermentation in lasted eight days with pump overs two or three times a day. Malolactic fermentation mostly occurred in vat, but a few wines were done in barrel. The wine was aged in 20% new French oak barrels.

“The second wine from Château Rauzan-Ségla, a famed second-growth Margaux property, this bottle is really starting to hit its stride. Its tannins are well incorporated, while its wild berry flavors are ripe but refreshingly juicy. Ségla has enough texture to stand up to a char-grilled steak, but this approachable, silky red also works on its own.”
