Rauzan Segla 2008

Château Rauzan-Ségla 2008 is a full-bodied mature-vintage Left Bank Bordeaux produced by the `Super Second` Château Rauzan-Ségla in the appellation of Margaux. Consistently justifying its position in the upper echelon of Bordeaux Second Growths, Rauzan-Ségla has been owned by Chanel since 1994. The excellent 1990 vintage was matured in 40% new oak. "The 2008 Rauzan-Ségla is a solid vintage and is still relatively youthful, yet it’s certainly drinking nicely. A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot, it has a cooler, black-fruited, menthol, and tobacco-driven bouquet as well as medium to full body, still present tannins, considerable elegance, and outstanding length. Overall it’s a pretty, well-balanced 2008 that’s going to continue evolving for another 15-20 years." Jeb Dunnuck, 2019
