“Segla” is the second wine of Chateau Rauzan Segla, which has become the finest quality chateau in the Margaux appellation after Chateaux Margaux and Palmer in recent years. The chateau has over 350 years of history, but this second wine was launched in 1995 by the technical director at the time, Jon Kolasa.
The terroir of Rauzan Segla is mostly gravel with clay subsoils. Although the best and oldest vines on the estate are used to produce the “grand vin” (Rauzan Segla), the quality of this second wine is amazing for its price, making this consistently one of the best buys on the Left Bank.
Segla was aged for 16 months in 25% new French oak barrels.
The warm and sunny 2015 vintage was a huge success in the Margaux appellation, and particularly for Chateau Rauzan Segla, whose “grand vin” was one of the finest they have ever produced. Segla, their second wine, is full of the region’s trademark red fruit flavours with a gentle violet and floral perfume. It is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. It is elegant and finely structured, full of energy and tension, pure and perfectly balanced. This is a serious and very impressive second wine, but above all a wine of pleasure, a wine which will make you happy, and a great value example of this famous but sometimes erratic region!
