Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
75cl * 14% ABV * Margaux, Bordeaux, France
The delicious second wine of Deuxième Cru Classé, Rauzan Ségla. Worked by the same team and according to the same requirements as the Grand Cru Classé, it is an initiation to the sophistication and the philosophy of the estate: a delicate, tasty and expressive style which elegantly imprints the distinction of the great terroirs of the Margaux appellation.
Following a sunny and dry Summer and Autumn, the 2018 vintage is characterised by its density. The soft red fruits bring deliciously juicy and intense quality, while the black fruit tinged with liquorice further densifies the harmonious bouquet. Over this incomparable fruitiness float the ripe floral aromas of violets. The fresh, zesty notes of pink grapefruit are invigorating and contribute to the ethereal posture of the whole. The palate is whole, dense, broad and soft all at once. It develops its flavours in a very distinct tactile crescendo, showing no hint of heaviness. A remarkable wine, the fruit of perfectly matured grapes.
“Black cherry and damson, grainy tannins, slate and crayon, olive paste, balsamic, this is on the edge of moving into its full drinking window, such a lovely balanced vintage that is understated and succulent.” 93 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux (Tasted June 2026)
“The 2019 Ségla has a tertiary, smoky, pencil box scented bouquet, a bit grouchier than its Margaux peers, stubborn in its flush of youth. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, pretty and quite elegant with a keen thread of acidity. There is impressive precision on the finish, quite mineral-driven with a satisfyingly persistent aftertaste. This Deuxième Vin always shines in blind tastings, its seductiveness shining through.” 93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous.com (Tasted Jan 2023) Drink 2026-2050
“The 2019 Ségla is absolutely gorgeous. Bright and effusive in the glass, with gorgeous aromatic presence, the 2019 impresses with its freshness, vivacity and energy. Crushed red berry fruit and sweet floral accents lend finesse throughout. The 2019 is lithe, elegant and classy from start to finish.” 92 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com (Tasted Jan 2022) Drink 2024-2039
