The 2010 Ségla was tasted under two different closures. The first under cork, offers blackberry, briary and touches of violet on the quintessential Margaux nose that gains intensity with aeration. Very impressive. The palate is medium-bodied with fine boned tannins, superb depth and body with an energetic, very focused finish that leaves a longer spicy residue. Lots of potential here. Under Screwcap it was also impressively pure and focused on the nose with red plum, blackberry, crushed violets and a hint of cassis that gains intensity with aeration. What really took me back was just how pixelated this Screwcap bottling showed and the persistence on the aftertaste. This was a quite brilliant showing for a Deuxième Vin and seems to confirm that alternatives to natural cork can age just as well, if not better.

Chateau Rauzan-Segla
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’.
