Rauzan-Segla 2016 is a Bordeaux red wine from the Margaux appellation, benefiting from the ideal growing conditions of a legendary vintage. This 2016 bottling is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, grown on the deep, fine gravel soils that characterise the property’s best parcels. It offers an explosive aromatic profile of blackcurrants, violets and cedar, supported by a dense yet remarkably polished tannic structure. Winemaking involves meticulous selection and maturation in 60% new French oak, resulting in a wine of immense concentration and architectural poise. It is a sophisticated and long-lived expression of Margaux, balancing its powerful fruit core with a persistent, mineral-flecked finish that marks it as one of the finest wines produced in the appellation this century.
