Description
Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 36%, Petit Verdot 3%, Cabernet Franc 1%
This has a beguiling nose of fruit compote, without any sense of heat from over-concentration. It’s plump but assured; by no means a heavyweight, there is controlled succulence here. Above it all is Damask rose, almost honeysuckle-like in its intensity. A creamy finish of summer fruits sits in a basket of woven graphite tannins. This is some way from a discreet style of Margaux but is no less seductive in its way. It struts its sensuality with confidence and poise.

Chateau Rauzan-Segla
Château Rauzan-Ségla and Mouton Rothschild were considered the leading 2emé Cru Classé Bordeaux properties during the 19th century. However, while the fortunes of Mouton prospered in the 20th century, culminating in its elevation to 1er Cru status in 1973, Rauzan-Ségla`s reputation dwindled and a succession of disappointing wines were produced.
