Château RAUZAN-SÉGLA
2ème grand cru classé
- 2015
- Margaux
An exceptional terroir classified in 1855 at the top of the second classified growths (with Mouton-Rothschild). Classicism in its purest form, an exemplary Margaux and certainly the cru classé whose style is the closest to that of Château Margaux.
The 2015 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (August 2020): 96/100 “Mellow mouthfeel, full-bodied and melting, with fatness from the mid-palate and real aromatic power. It's long and very good.”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2025): 96/100 “The 2015 Rauzan-Ségla has so much freshness and vitality on the nose, with raspberry, cranberry and the crushed violet and iris flower aromas that define it as Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied tannins matched with a pinpoint bead of acidity. There is elegance from the start, with impressive weight and length, remaining sapid with a hint of graphite on the finish. A marvelous Rauzan-Ségla that probably represents one of the best values on the left bank."

The 2019 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 93+/100 “The 2019 Rauzan-Ségla is surly and backward on the nose despite aeration. Gravelly black fruit, sous-bois and touches of seaweed emerge with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy and smooth, a dash of white pepper and cedar towards the shelled finish. This is one bottle that desperately needs more aeration to show its capabilities - one for long-term cellaring".
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 97/100 “Another splendid success for this vintage. Intense and very civilized, it falls into the mouth with evidence and grace, like a haute couture dress. A great incarnation of Margaux at its best".
J-M Quarin (March 2022): 96/100 “Delicate on the entry, very aromatic in the middle, complex and tasty, the wine takes on taste between the middle and the finish and stretches out, offering fruit and floral nuances. Juicy, deep, with a slightly austere tannic structure behind which come multiple aromas. A great, racy wine. Bravo!”
