Chateau Rauzan-Segla Margaux 2015

This blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc has a rich, deep crimson color, almost like velvet. Its nose reveals lush red fruits, a touch of graphite, dark chocolate, and ripe plums, hinting at a luxurious texture. On the palate, it’s impeccably balanced, allowing the fruit flavors to stand out alongside subtle notes of pencil shavings and dense dark chocolate. Although youthful and with impressive aging potential, it’s a pleasure to enjoy even now.

This world-renowned producer, Château Rauzan-Ségla, has 350 years of winemaking perfection to back its Grand Cru Classé status.

Vinification is meticulously managed by plot, using gravity-fed vatting in temperature-controlled vats, followed by 18 months of aging in 50% new French oak barrels, ensuring Rauzan-Ségla's place among the great wines of Bordeaux.
