[SOLD-OUT] Segla Margaux 2015

Second wine of the 2nd Growth classified Chateau Rauzan-Segla

 

 

 

"The 2015 is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and a ”seasoning” of 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, representing just over half the total crop, matured in 25% new wood. It has a fragrant, very precise bouquet with mineral-rich, very pure blackberry, blueberry and cold flint-like aromas. There is wonderful tension here for a deuxieme vin. The palate is medium-bodied with a juicy opening, just a tingle of spice on the tip of the tongue. There is very fine tension here, moderate weight but great persistence and sense of energy on the finish. On a budget? Thinking of a second wine? Look no further." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

 

"The 2015 Ségla reveals baked cherries, hoisin and light cedar aromas on the nose, which is tightly wound at first but gains intensity with aeration. The oak is neatly integrated. The very well-balanced, medium-bodied palate features firm tannin, commendable purity, smooth texture and just a touch of white pepper and graphite toward the persistent finish. This is a classy Margaux to add to many others. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 

 

"A solid red with a dense palate of ripe fruit, chewy tannins and a savory finish. This shows structure and reserve. Excellent second wine from Rauzan." - James Suckling

 

"Fragrant, ripe and smooth with freshness and more density than expected. A fine second wine." - Decanter

 

"An instance of pure pleasure. A tempting escape from the worries of everyday life. To taste a glass of Segla is the promise of this and much, much more. Chateau Rauzan-Segla's little brother was born under a lucky star. One that reveals an artisanal savoir-faire which has been further enhanced by modern technologies and practices. Yet, over the years and successive harvests, Segla has developed its own unique personality. A passionate, spirited character with fruity aromas that will blow you away from the very first sip. This wine has undoubtedly inherited its big brother's elegance, the trademark of this prestigious wine estate. However, what is even more obvious is its succulent character. Pure and immediately accessible drinking pleasure. A pleasure that takes over your body and senses and delivers the very essence of happiness: a tasting experience defined by a powerful immediacy that nothing can resist. All of a sudden, time seems to stand still. All that matters is the present moment and savouring this unique experience." - Chateau Rauzan-Segla
