CHÂTEAU RAUZAN-SÉGLA Ségla, Margaux 375ml (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc) 2017 (1x37.5cl)

Ségla represents the distinguished second wine of Château Rauzan-Ségla, a revered Deuxième Cru Classé estate situated in the prestigious Margaux appellation. Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as its Grand Vin, Ségla is designed to offer an earlier-drinking expression of the estate's exceptional terroir.

The vineyard's gravelly soils, characteristic of Margaux, impart a signature elegance and aromatic complexity to the blend. The 2017 vintage, composed predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, reflects a year that, despite early challenges, yielded wines of notable freshness and purity. Vinification and ageing are carefully managed to ensure the wine embodies the classic Margaux profile while remaining approachable in its youth. This 37.5cl format is ideal for individual enjoyment or a focused tasting experience.

Tasting notes

The 2017 Ségla presents a vibrant ruby hue. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe red currants, black cherries, and a hint of cassis, interwoven with delicate floral notes of violet and a subtle graphite minerality. The palate is elegantly structured, showcasing fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity that carries the fruit forward. Flavours of red berry fruit, cedar, and a touch of spice lead to a harmonious and persistent finish. While approachable now, its balance suggests potential for further development over the next few years.
