Goedhuis, April 2002
Since Chanel took over this property the quality of the wine has been transformed. The hugeinvestment has paid off and Rauzan is once again producing wines of the very highest quality. Thisis one of the most stylish Margaux we tasted, a wine of classic proportion and great potential.

Robert Parker, June 2004, Score: 89
Notes of new saddle leather, dried Provencal herbs, and a hint of lavender jump from the glass of this deep ruby/purple-tinged Margaux. The complex aromatics are followed by a sweet attack, but some narrowing on the mid-palate and finish is apparent. Pure and elegant, it is ideal for near term drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.

James Suckling, March 2002, Score: 89-91
Perfumed and floral, with a fruity, mineral nose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a smoky tobacco finish. Refined. -- J.S.

Jancis Robinson, April 2002, Score: 17.5
Deep colour. Spreads over the palate with a great fan of flavours. Great nose followed by a slightly disappointing palate that is more lightweight than I would have expected on the basis of the nose. Should make appetising claret. No suggestion of unripeness anyway. Drink 2007-2015

Originating in the 17th century, Rauzan Sègla was created by Pierre de Mesures de Rauzan whopurchased large tracts of land which included neighbouring Rauzan Gassies, Desmirail and Marquisde Terme. Within a short period of time, Rauzan Sègla became high on collectors lists rivallingLéoville, Gruaud Larose and Mouton Rothschild. One of its followers included Thomas Jeffersonwho purchased several cases of the 1790 vintage. Over the years it was divided and sold on to various owners falling deeper and deeper into oblivion until the 1980s when its old, wooden vats were replaced with stainless steel and excellent clones of Cabernet Sauvignon replaced the tired Merlot. In 1994, the château was taken over by Chanel who have continued this drive for quality.Read less

Region
Margaux
Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
