As a follow-up to the stellar 2015 and 2016 release, this perhaps does not attain the same lofty heights but is, nonetheless, an exceptional wine from this superb Margaux estate. Medium-bodied, elegant and full of vibrancy, it is a classical blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, of which 60% were new.

The 2017 Rauzan-Ségla is coming together very nicely. Soft and silky, the 2017 is a wine of pure and total finesse. Sweet red cherry and plum fruit, tobacco, cedar and licorice add pretty top notes, but more than anything else, the 2017 impresses with its statuesque elegance and total balance; nothing in particular stands out. For that reason, Rauzan-Ségla is the sort of wine that is easy to overlook, and yet all the elements of a top notch Left-Bank wine are present. Tasted three times.Antonio Galloni1st March 2020

Creamy black fruits, fresh tobacco leaf, soft tannins. Give it a moment and a tawny grilled toffee generosity creeps in, alongside soft juicy acidities. In its drinking window as so many 2017s are right now. No doubt will surprise us all by staying on this plateau for another decade at least, in that magical way that Bordeaux can.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Fleshy red fruits after some coaxing – it is tightly wound at this stage. The palate reveals greater potential but focuses on brighter, red fruit for now. There is a creaminess to the texture despite the firm, fine tannins. This is a tight knot which is hard to read at this stage but the depth and length of finish suggest good potential.
