2019 Segla by Rauzan-Segla Margaux 750ml

Overview

Ségla offers an approachable expression of Château Rauzan-Ségla’s Margaux vineyards. The 2019 Bordeaux red blends Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, combining generous dark fruit with the freshness and fine structure associated with the appellation.

As the second wine of the historic Second Growth estate, Ségla has its own identity: supple, aromatic and elegant, with the depth to reward further cellaring.

Vintage & Winemaking

A mild, dry winter was followed by a cool, wet spring and a hot, dry summer. Mid-September rain benefited the Cabernet Sauvignon. The final blend is 54% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot, matured for 18 months with 20% new barrels.
