Is Château Rauzan-Ségla one of Margaux's top wineries? Certainly, and it is not us who claim it to be but the whole wine world! In fact, the 2013 vintage has received 93 Pts by Wine Enthusiast!
This beautiful chateau in the great village of Margaux belongs to the Second Growths, according to the 1855 classification. The chateau was originally founded under the name Domaine de Rauzan in 1661 by Pierre Desmezures, an important figure in the history of Bordeaux, who, at the time, he also had Châteaux Margaux and Latour. The chateau was purchased later by the Baroness of Ségla, Catherin de Rauzan, who named it Rauzan-Ségla. In 1994, the estate was bought by the fashion giant Chanel, so now you know where all this finesse comes from.
The blend consists of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The grapes are picked by hand and the wine fermented and matured in French oak barrels for 18 months.
The result is dense and intense and is intended for long aging.
