2018 Château Rauzan-Ségla

Château Rauzan-Ségla has a long and storied history dating back to the 17th century. The estate was originally part of the larger Rauzan estate, which was split into four separate properties in 1762. The portion that would become Rauzan-Ségla was acquired by Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségla, and the estate has borne his name ever since. Over the years, the property has changed hands several times and has experienced periods of prosperity and decline. In the late 19th century, the estate was owned by the Frey family. However, like many properties in Bordeaux, it faced challenges during the phylloxera and economic downturn. In 1994, Château Rauzan-Ségla was purchased by the Wertheimer family, who also own the famous luxury goods company Chanel. The Wertheimers have invested in the estate and worked to restore its reputation for producing high-quality wines.

The Rauzan-Ségla 2018 is composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The wine is aged for approximately 18 months in barriques, of which 65% are new. A deep garnet purple in colour, it opens from the glass with aromas of crushed black cherries, blackcurrants, star anise, chocolate and mint. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with tight, muscular layers of black fruit, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins, finishing with fantastic length and plenty of earthy sparks.
