Château Rauzan-Ségla 2022
Margaux AOC 2eme Grand Cru Classe
Rauzan-Ségla 2022 could easily be one of the top wines of the vintage. The wine displays such purity of fruit, with enticing nuances of violet, herbs, earth and liquorice. Never before had the team seen such quality in the vintage. A stand out.

This fine property has certainly hit the mark in 2022 as Suckling's 97-98 score suggests. While Wine Advocate described it as "a beautifully sensual, charming wine". The estate dates back a long way – to 1661 and during the 19th century, it was ranked alongside Mouton. Wine wise, its most interesting history, however, is from 1983. It employed the great Emile Peynaud and extensive renovations were made. In 1994, Chanel's Wertheimer brothers took ownership and started a full restoration of the château, the cellar and its vineyards. Today they take a more organic approach with the vines, vinify in small batches, and use up to 60% new oak. Under the guidance of Nicolas Audebert, quality has risen further still. A very fine Margaux.
