justerini & brooks tasting note

Rauzan-Ségla 2024 is dominated by 63.5% Cabernet Sauvignon alongside 34% Merlot and equal portions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It presents a deep, alluring hue. Initially reticent on the nose, hinting at its latent complexity. It develops in the glass revealing a delicate florality and a wisp of white pepper. The palate, however, bursts with taut, refined fruit – clear expressions of berries and bright Griotte cherry. There’s a tenderness to the fruit that is very alluring. . The inclusion of 12.5% press wine adds to the structure and mouthfeel. The finish is marked by refined, detailed tannins, full of fresh berry and subtle mineral nuances. Another very smart Rauzan Segla.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Strides confidently out of the glass with classic black currants and red currant scents, leading to a core of cedar chest, underbrush, and damp soils, plus a touch of red roses. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant with exquisitely ripe tannins and beautifully knit tension framing the red and black berry layers, finishing long and fragrant. This is a finished blend, completed 2 months ago.

The 2024 Rauzan-Ségla is magnificent. One of the top wines of the Left Bank, Rauzan-Ségla possesses tremendous textural density and mind-blowing balance. Dark fruit, lavender, spice, licorice and new leather are all dialed up in a potent, layered Margaux that offers stunning harmony and incredible purity. At this stage, Rauzan-Ségla is one of the wines of the vintage in Bordeaux. Elegant yet powerful, the 2024 is simply magnificent. Tasted four times.

94/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Inky colour here, one of the deepest in the appellation, lovely precision, great quality, the cool spirit of the vintage comes through in the sappy fruit, blue rather than black in character if not in colour, with black tea, espresso, chalk, lots of finesse, and still delivers flesh through the mid palate, with a touch of bitter cocoa bean on the finish. 22% press wine, 50% new oak, 3.7ph. This is the first organic certified vintage. 30hl/h yield, 55% of production in the main estate wine.

A blend of 63.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 0.5% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Rauzan-Segla offers up aromas of minty cassis, pencil shavings and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium-bodied, soft and pillowy palate that's supple and open-knit, concluding with a melting, discreetly herbal finish.
