About this wine

Ségla is the second wine of the prestigious Château Rauzan-Ségla, a Second Growth estate in Margaux. Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as the Grand Vin, it is sourced from younger vines on the estate. The wine offers a refined expression of the Margaux terroir, characterized by elegance, silky tannins, and a vibrant aromatic profile of blackcurrant, violet, and subtle spice. It is designed to be more approachable in its youth while maintaining the classic structure and complexity expected from a top-tier Bordeaux estate.
