In Bond Fine Wine. 2016 Château Rauzan Segla, Margaux, Bordeaux, France. Second Growth • Red Bordeaux in 12x75cl. Top critic score: 96/100 (NM). Sold in bond by Albany Vintners, independent fine wine merchants.

Since the nineties, Rauzan Segla has undergone a remarkable transformation, reclaiming its place among Margaux’s top estates. Major investments followed its acquisition by Chanel in 1994, with winemaking led by Nicolas Audebert since 2014, whose experience in both Bordeaux and Argentina brought a fresh, precise approach. The style is now defined by depth, floral elegance, and refined structure—capturing the perfume and poise typical of great Margaux. Today, Rauzan Segla offers First Growth finesse at a more accessible price, making it a standout within its appellation.

The monumental 2016 Chateau Rauzan-S'gla is up with the creme de la creme in the vintage and is a brilliant, brilliant wine that readers should snatch up.
