「One of the more surprising results was just how well Ségla, the second wineof Château Rauzan-Ségla, showed. It was the second-favourite wine overall in the blindMargaux flight, nestling between Château Rauzan-Ségla and Pavillon Rouge de ChâteauMargaux. And some of us – seven out of 18 highly professional tasters – even scored ithigher than Rauzan. The second wine is certainly even more pleasurable to drinknow, and costs only about a quarter the price of Château Rauzan-Ségla itself.” 」By Jancis Robinson
1661年 Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan 購下一大宅與莊園，改命為 Chateau Rauzan Segla ，他死後由3個兒子繼承，其後一分為二分裂成 Chateau Rauzan-Gassies，在1855年Medoc分級被同列為二級莊，當時Mouton Rothschild 還是二級莊並未升級的時候，當時的二級莊的排位 Rauzan Segla 是跟隨 Mouton 其後，可見其巿場對其質量之認同，就連美國總統 Thomas Jefferson 在1787年到訪波爾多時，也專誠購入10箱 Rauzan Segla 。1983年酒莊請來波爾多著名釀酒顧問 Emile Peynaud 助陣，1984年酒莊落入Chanel 的 Wertheimer家族手中，Latour 的總經理 John Kolasa 加入擔入酒莊經理一職，直至2014年改由前 Cheval des Andes釀酒師 Nicolas Audebert 取替。著名酒評家 Neal Martin 評論: 「Winemaker Nicolas Audebert has conspired with the benevolent growingseason to produce a benchmark wine for the estate.」
Chateau Rauzan Segla 葡萄園佔地73公頃，釀酒過程一絲不苟，酒窖裡設置35個溫控不锈鋼缸，每一個不锈鋼桶對應著35塊葡萄園，推行微釀造，指細的分開了不同的風土條件以方便日後混釀，採用原生酵母，而且從1999年開始便將新桶比例降低至50%左右，並採用中等烤燻程度的橡木桶，使其風格不會掩蓋瑪歌產區充滿花香迷人雅致的特徵，葡萄酒於橡木桶陳熟約18-20個月，Rauzan Segla 在1995年開始出產副牌 Segla ，莊園總產量有一半落入副牌 Segla 之中，可見質量之高有根有據，Rauzan Segla 有別於其他 Margaux，酒體較深厚，而且熟成需時，副牌則能在早年享用，即買即享受頂級瑪歌的風味，除了一級莊 Chateau Margaux 站在頂端，Rauzan Segla 與 Palmer 和 d'Issan 並列為瑪歌產區的列級莊的典範。

This is one of the most structured Séglas for a long time with full body, a sold core of fruit and firm, chewy tannins that are polished and focused. Tight at the end. Hazelnut finish.

The 2016 Segla had been blended for a month when I tasted it with the exception of 14 experimental barrels. It comprises of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 53% Merlot with 1% each of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, matured in 20% new oak. It has a very polished and quite opulent bouquet with kirsch, blackberry, a touch of glycerine and just a hint of menthol. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin, silky smith in texture with a dash of spice on the back palate, and a compact but long finish.

The 2016 Ségla has a well-defined bouquet whose discreet rose petal and iris aromas lift the black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and quite lively and spicy, leading into a slightly metallic finish, which I suspect will ebb with time. There is good length here. An elegant and quite persistent Margaux. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.
