| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nDeep ruby in appearance, Segla delivers aromas of blueberry and vanilla on the nose. On the palate it is medium bodied with silky tannins. fragrant, very precise bouquet with mineral-rich, very pure blackberry, blueberry and cold flint-like aromas. There is wonderful tension here for a deuxi\u00e8me 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.\r\nRobert Parker 92 Points\r\nBlend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc\r\nAbout Ch\u00e2teau Segla\r\nThe wines here have delighted many well-know figures, most famously Thomas Jefferson who came across this wine during his visit to the vineyards of Bordeaux, placing an order for several cases of it. He thus became a fervent admirer or Rauzan-Segla wines. Some decades later, the 1855 Classification ranked Chateau Rauzan-Segla as a Second Growth.\r\nThe current chateau was built in 1903, designed by architect Louis Garros, who drew inspiriation from the original Perigord-style buildings in the the chateau, as well as G. LeBreton who designed the park and green spaces. Then time went by and the chateau gradually fell into a slumber.\r\nThen, Chanel purchased Chateau Rauzan-S\u00e9gla in April 1994 and immediately started a full renovation programme. The vineyard has been drained \u2013 a 15-kilometer network is now in place, 2 parcels of Petit Verdot were planted and 3 hectares of vines were grafted over with Merlot. Today, 51 hectares are in production for an average total production of 200 000 bottles \u2013 Chateau Rauzan- S\u00e9gla and its second wine S\u00e9gla. The winery has been adapted and large vats progressively replaced by smaller capacities \u2013 matching the parcels' sizes. From the 2004 picking on, grapes will be sorted on two 10-meter long vibrating tables, so that each single berry is checked before entering the vats. Maturation cellars have been completely renovated and a new room built for the bottling-labelling machines \u2013 making Chateau Rauzan-S\u00e9gla fully independent for the entire production process. |
