    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Under the astute guidance of Nicolas Audebert, Rauzan Segla is beginning to demonstrate its true potential. Not only is it one of the leading lights of the Margaux commune, it is now regarded as one of the foremost super seconds. Produced from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, the influence of new oak barrels has been reduced to 60%. Quite a complex, spicy nose, with hints of peonies, classical fruits and stony minerals. A wonderful high toned floral quality over pure, crisp berry fruit. The tannins are beautifully integrated and fused with the fruit, notes of graphite shoot through the raspberry, blood orange and creme de mûre core, with hints of ferrous rocks. Very sleek across the mid palate, lots of tense, nervy fruit, then stony, polished tannins. Graceful and refreshing with lovely touches of spice on the finish, almost an Espelette pepper note. Gorgeous!

    Classic Rauzan Ségla in that it is sculpted and finessed, with rose petal and black tea notes. Far from the concetrated gourmet take that we have had in vintages like 2022 or 2020, but it has real precision, with sinewy, graceful blueberry and blackcurrant fruits, and a juicy finish. Tasted twice, 45% of overall production. First full year of conversion to organics. Nicolas Audebert director, Eric Boissenot consultant.

    The 2021 Rauzan-Ségla has a beautifully defined bouquet that soars from the glass with blackberry, raspberry coulis, hints of iodine and crushed iris flower aromas. The new oak (60%) is seamlessly integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and perfectly judged acidity, silky yet with sufficient tension and sapidity on the edgy finish to beckon you back for another sip. This is a splendid Rauzan-Ségla that I suspect will mature in bottle for longer than you might expect.

    The 2021 Rauzan-Segla is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, aging 18 months in 60% new oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it is a little closed to begin, delivering subtle notes of cassis, raspberry leaves, and mulberries with hints of fallen leaves, cinnamon stick, and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly knit with black and red berry layers and a grainy texture, finishing with good intensity on a lingering mineral note.
