About this Wine

Château Rauzan-Ségla 2010 is widely regarded as one of the estate's greatest modern vintages and a benchmark expression of Margaux. Produced during Bordeaux's exceptional 2010 growing season, the wine combines remarkable concentration with extraordinary elegance and precision. Under the ownership of Chanel and the direction of the estate's acclaimed winemaking team, Rauzan-Ségla delivered a wine that many critics consider among the finest ever produced at the château.

The wine opens with a complex and captivating bouquet of blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry, graphite, cedar, violets, cocoa, black tea, tobacco, and subtle floral notes. The palate is rich and layered, displaying remarkable depth and concentration while maintaining the silky texture and perfume that define great Margaux. Notes of plum, dark berries, licorice, spice, pencil shavings, and mineral nuances unfold seamlessly across a finely structured framework of ripe tannins and vibrant acidity.

Now entering an exceptional drinking window, the 2010 displays increasing complexity while retaining immense freshness and structure. The finish is long, polished, and remarkably persistent, combining power with finesse in a way few Bordeaux vintages achieve. Critics have awarded the wine scores up to 98 points and suggest it has the capacity to evolve gracefully for several more decades.

Wines from Bordeaux

Bordeaux is in the south west of France and is one of the most famous wine regions in the world. It is the largest wine producing region in France, the vast majority being red wines. While it does make large quantities of everyday table wine, outside of Europe, it is mostly noted for producing some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world.

The Garonne and Dordogne rivers run through the region and together naturally irrigate the land while the soils are rich in calcium owing to their limestone content. These two rivers connect and run through to the Atlantic Ocean splitting Bordeaux into 3 distinct parts. We have the left bank, the right bank, and the area between the two rivers called Entre-Deux-Mers.

While in Australia we often see straight Shiraz, Cabernet or Merlots, Bordeaux does not generally produce red wine without blending. The “Bordeaux Blend” is one of the most classic and popular styles of red wine that has spread throughout France as well as throughout the New World.

On the left bank, typical top-quality blends are 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. On the right bank top quality blends are typically made of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

In general you can expect red wines from Bordeaux to taste more earthy in flavour compared to those from the New World wine regions that tend to be more fruit flavour driven.
