Inviting bouquet with fine spicy-tobacco, blackberry, black cherry and fresh orange zest. Juicy on the palate with red berry fruit, a hint of plum and integrated tannins. There is pleasant freshness and balance and mineral on the finish with pronounced fruit. Already well developed.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 Star\u003c\/strong\u003e — Le Guide Hachette des Vins · 2018 Vintage · Awarded: 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSégla is the second wine of Château Rauzan-Ségla, produced in a more approachable style than the grand vin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 vintage is characterised by its density.
