2024 Rauzan Segla

Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!

Inky colour here, one of the deepest in the appellation, lovely precision, great quality, the cool spirit of the vintage comes through in the sappy fruit, blue rather than black in character if not in colour, with black tea, espresso, chalk, lots of finesse, and still delivers flesh through the mid palate, with a touch of bitter cocoa bean on the finish. 22% press wine, 50% new oak, 3.7ph. This is the first organic certified vintage. 30hl/h yield, 55% of production in the main estate wine.

(Margaux; 63.5% Cabernet Sauvignon; 34% Merlot; 2% Petit Verdot; 0.5% Cabernet Franc; a final yield of 29 hl/ha; 13% alcohol; tasted twice, first at the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin). This is very beautifully balanced and very beautifully composed. Subtle floral notes (violet and rose petal), lovely ripe cassis and blackcurrant and bramble fruits, that typical Rauzan-Ségla walnut and graphite note and just the suggestion of the cedar that will eventually enrobe all of this so elegantly – a little more when re-tasted a week later at Canon. Blood orange. Sapid, limpid and quite sinuous for Rauzan-Ségla this is very classy and it transcends the vintage. This expresses the terroir so well. So incredibly harmonious.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Strides confidently out of the glass with classic black currants and red currant scents, leading to a core of cedar chest, underbrush, and damp soils, plus a touch of red roses. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant with exquisitely ripe tannins and beautifully knit tension framing the red and black berry layers, finishing long and fragrant. This is a finished blend, completed 2 months ago.
