The property

In the heart of the prestigious Margaux vineyard, the Château Rauzan-Ségla has been a major reference of the appellation for more than three centuries. Classified Second Grand Cru in 1855, it embodies the elegance and finesse typical of the great wines of Margaux. This jewel of the left bank seduces with its exceptional terroir, where the diversity of soils gives the wines a unique structure, combining delicacy, aromatic intensity and great aging potential. Today carried by Maison Chanel, Rauzan-Ségla brilliantly combines Bordeaux heritage and contemporary excellence.

The vineyard

What makes Rauzan-Ségla unique is the exceptional richness of its terroir in Margaux. A true signature of the estate, this geological mosaic is divided into three main families of soils, each contributing its part to the complexity of the wines. Among them, the clay-limestone soils stand out particularly: their composition gives the wines intensity, structure and volume, constituting the backbone of the blends.

Vinification and aging

Château Rauzan-Ségla 2007 benefited from parcel vinification in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The grapes, harvested manually in small crates, were carefully sorted. The aging continued for 18 months in French oak barrels.

Grape varieties

This wine is made from a traditional blend dominated by cabernet sauvignon.
