Situated in the Margaux appellation, Château Rauzan-Ségla is a Second Growth wine producer under the ownership of a subsidiary of the Chanel Group since 1994. The 1989 vintage has now reached an ideal drinking stage, displaying a lovely mature character. Its elegant nose encompasses notes of violets, cedar spice, mint, and eucalyptus. On the palate, expect leather and spice notes intertwined with tertiary fruit elements, culminating in a powerful and lengthy finish.

Vinous
The 1989 Rauzan-Ségla is a vintage that to my surprise, I had not tasted since September 2007. Just like then it represents the high point of the decade and augured a much brighter future in terms of quality. At three decades old it has a beautiful bouquet, so elegant with brambly red fruit, cedar and rose petals, very Barolo in style and less exotic than previous bottles. The palate remains youthful and like the aromatics, comes across so finessed with superb delineation and natural balance. There is even a dab of honey on the sensual finish. Certainly à point, this Margaux is highly recommended. Tasted at the 1989 Bordeaux dinner at Hatched restaurant. Neal Martin1st April 2019

A Margaux Super Second
Setting the bar for quality winemaking in Margaux, the vineyards of Château Rauzan-Ségla are planted to 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 1% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot and are used to produce both the prestigious first wine and the second wine, known as Ségla.
These are wonderfully elegant, vibrant reds that see 60-70% new oak. Considered by many to be one of the greatest properties in Margaux, Rauzan-Ségla is now firmly established as one of Bordeaux`s ‘Super Seconds’.
