Owned by luxury fashion house Chanel since 1994, Château Rauzan-Ségla is a Second Growth wine estate located within the Margaux appellation. The 2006 Grand Vin is a blend of 53 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 44 % Merlot and 3 % Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in oak barrels [50% new]. On the nose, expect a delicate blend of black and red fruits, cherries and candied fruits. The palate reveals notes of orange and blonde tobacco with floral undertones.

Vinous
The 2006 Rauzan-Ségla actually showed a touch more maturation on the rim compared to the 2004! This bottle was consistent with several encounters in the past, including my ten-year on retrospectives. Harvested from September 21 to October 7, it has an open and expressive bouquet with blackberry, cedar and just a touch of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with moderate depth, quite straight-laced in style with firm, slightly dry tannin but backed up by sufficient black fruit laced with black pepper and clove. Where this particular vintage is let down is just on the finish. It scarpers out of the exit too hastily whereas the 2004 displayed more bite and energy. Tasted at the Rauzan-Ségla vertical at the château. 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’.
