The 2010 Château Rauzan-Ségla is a magnificent expression of Margaux in a vintage widely considered one of the greatest in modern Bordeaux history. A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and small amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the wine spent 18–20 months in French oak, about 60% new. The vintage was marked by dry conditions, small berries, and exceptional phenolic ripeness, resulting in wines of density, purity, and remarkable structure. In the glass, the 2010 Rauzan-Ségla opens with a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, violet, graphite, cedar, cigar box, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and firmly structured, with polished yet powerful tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-laced finish. The wine’s tension and depth suggest decades of graceful aging—now entering its early peak, but capable of evolving through 2045 and beyond. A quintessential Margaux for collectors, ideally paired with classic dishes like roa

Château Rauzan-Ségla, a Second Growth (Deuxième Grand Cru Classé) in the 1855 Classification, is one of the crown jewels of the Margaux appellation. Located in the heart of the Médoc, just south of Château Margaux itself, the estate dates back to the 17th century and has long been celebrated for its finesse, aromatic elegance, and aging potential. Since its acquisition by Chanel in 1994, Rauzan-Ségla has undergone a renaissance under the direction of Nicolas Audebert (formerly of Krug and Cheval des Andes) and oenologist Eric Boissenot, with major investments in both vineyard management and cellar technology. The estate’s 70 hectares are planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc on deep gravel soils that define classic Margaux. The wines reflect a balance of precision and sensuality, combining structure with floral lift and textural finesse—hallmarks of great Left Bank Bordeaux.
