Rauzan-Ségla

Second grand cru classé - AOC Margaux

The château Rauzan-Ségla is the property of the great Wertheimer family, also owners of the Chanel maison de haute couture. It is a wine estate located in Margaux. The 1855 classification had placed this cru at the top of the Seconds grans crus, just behind Mouton-Rotschild who has benefited from the promotion that we know. Rauzan-Ségla thus had the formidable privilege of leading the group of Médoc princes. Unfortunately, the terroir experienced a few weaknesses between the 60s and 80s (the cellars were refurbished following this). Since then, this cru has readjusted its quality and amply justified its classification. It should be noted that its delicacy makes it very vulnerable to wet years, which is something that those in charge realised by simply downgrading the 1987 vintage. The takeover of the property by the Wertheimer family (Chanel) in 1994 led to new investments in the cellars, the effects of which are being felt from the 1997 vintage onwards.

The great bottles of exceptional wine from the château Rauzan-Ségla are available at Comptoir des Millésimes.
