Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Rauzan Segla 2eme Cru 2018

98–100
/100

Lobenberg: Rauzan Segla og Giscours, de to sekundanter til Margaux og Palmer i de sidste to år. Denne 2eme Cru producerer 120.000 flasker Grand Vin og samme mængde andenvin fra lidt over 50 hektar vinstokke. Vinstokkene er omkring 40 år gamle og indeholder lidt over 50% Cab. Sauvignon, lige under 40% Merlot og lidt Cab. Franc og Petit Verdot. Mere end halvdelen af barriques bliver fornyet hvert år. I årtier har vingården konstant strammet kvalitetsskruen, superrene druer, nye rustfri ståltanke til gæring og strengere arbejde har gjort det muligt for Rauzan at klatre tilbage i rækken af de absolutte topvinshuse. Rauzan Segla forekommer mig nu endda at være et højdepunkt i smagningen, fordi den ikke er helt så moden som Giscours, Malescot og andre. Næsen er finere, vi er mere på de sorte kirsebær end de fede brombær og cassis. Vi har fine rosenblade, lidt mindre viol, generelt virker næsen meget fin, sortfrugtet, men svævende. Smagen viser også disse fine, høje smagsnuancer, som er et ægte højdepunkt i denne Margaux-smagning. Vinen er frodig og moden, kraftfuld med masser af tannin, men samtidig fløjlsblød og silkeagtig. Men samtidig er denne Rauzan Segla fin, svævende og fuld af harmoni. Med en lethed, der skiller sig ud i dette hav af modne Margaux-vine. Også med rød frugt, legende, mere silkeagtig end fløjlsagtig i tanninerne, med vidunderlig længde. Dette er for mig topværdien i denne Margaux-smagning, jeg synes, det er en fantastisk vin 98-100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Rauzan Segla 2eme Cru

-- Suckling: This is one of the most structured and deep Rauzans I have tasted with a full body, layers of fruit and a firm and polished tannin backbone. Compact and composed. Such depth and power. 60 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 40 per cent merlot. 99-100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Rauzan Segla 2eme Cru

Reminding me of the 2016, the 2018 Château Rauzan-Segla reveals this beautifully fresh, complex bouquet that still has serious richness and depth. Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, raised in 65% new barrels, it offers a dense purple hue to go with gorgeous notes of blackcurrants, spring flowers, cigar wrapper, and sandalwood. A quintessential Margaux with its spicy, complex, floral character, it's full-bodied and has a supple, elegant texture, no hard edges, a solid spine of acidity, and a great, great finish. This is a brilliant, heavenly 2018 to enjoy over the coming 30 years or more. 99/100

Parker om: Chateau Rauzan Segla 2eme Cru

The 2018 Rauzan-Ségla is composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The wine has 14% alcohol, and it was aged for around 18 months in barriques, 65% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with powerful, energetic scents of crushed black cherries, blackcurrant cordial and mulberries, plus suggestions of violets, star anise, chocolate mint and crushed rocks with a touch of tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with taut, muscular black fruit layers, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with fantastic length and loads of earthy sparks. This is a thoroughbred Margaux, for sure, possessing amazing power in a very sleek, sophisticated package. Give it 5-7 years in bottle to unlock all those earth, floral and mineral nuances and drink it over the next 40 years or more. An incredible achievement that adeptly sidesteps the potentially overwhelming stamps of this extreme vintage. Bravo to Technical Director Nicolas Audebert and the team at Rauzan-Ségla! 98+/100

Galloni om: Chateau Rauzan Segla 2eme Cru

-- Galloni: The 2018 Rauzan-Ségla is fabulous. Regal and soaring in the glass, Rauzan-Ségla is simply unforgettable. Stunning aromatics and layers of flavor develop in the glass in a drop-dead gorgeous Rauzan that will leave readers weak at the knees. Inky and explosive, the 2018 possesses off the charts intensity and richness. Leather, licorice, spice and grilled herbs add nuance as the 2018 builds to a huge crescendo of aromas, flavors and textures on the finish. I won't be surprised if one day the 2018 is considered among the greatest Rauzan-Séglas of all time. It is a tremendous achievement by the property and the team lead by Technical Director Nicolas Audebert. Don't miss it! Tasted four times. 97-100/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Rauzan Segla 2eme Cru

Inky garnet with purple accents in the hue, the depth of color reveals only part of the story. The perfume, with its violets, espresso, smoke, tobacco leaf and a sea of stand out ripe, dark red fruits ranging from blackberry to plum. On the palate, the wine is plush, dense and full-bodied yet it glides. Already expressive in the nose and mouth, the finish matches perfectly with its outstanding level of purity, extract and freshness. Is this better than the majestic 2015 or the strong 2016? Perhaps it is! I'm waiting for a blind tasting. Give it ten years or just a bit longer and this beauty will shine for decades after that. The wine was produced from blending 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, reaching 14.0% alcohol with a pH of 3.8. The harvest took place September 12 to October 11. The Grand Vin was made from 45% of the harvest. 97-99/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Rauzan Segla 2eme Cru

-- Wine Spectator: Very concentrated, atypically so for Margaux, with sappy kirsch and plum reduction notes that are well-defined and luxurious in feel, draping beautifully over a graphite underpinning on the finish. Very long. 96-99/100

Min vinmager

Rauzan Segla

Château Rauzan Segla blev grundlagt i 1661 af Pierre des Mesures de Rauza og har haft en meget omskiftelig historie. Fra 1983 til 1994 var ejendommen ejet af Jacques Theo, hvis klare bevidsthed om kvalitet endda førte til, at Château Rauzan Segla ikke producerede nogen vin i det (utilfredsstillende)...
