Inky colour, this is sleek, powerful, a ton of energy and uplift, very classy, bouncy, feel that you are very much in the heart of rose bud and iris flowers, DNA of the Margaux appellation, liquorice and black chocolate, really a skilfully constructed wine that will power through the years. Nicolas Audebert. Harvest September 2 to 24, 29hl/ha yield, 3.67ph.

Blackberry, dark cherry and crushed stone notes with a medium to full body, extremely fine and polished with a long and pretty finish. Racy and precise. Fresh and fine. Lovel the floral notes in the nose. A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot, 1.5% petit verdot, and .5% cabernet franc.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Rauzan-Ségla needs a little shaking to wake up perfumed notes of lavender and lilacs, leading to a core of fresh black currants, wild blueberries, and black raspberries, with touches of aniseed and fragrant soil. The medium-bodied palate delivers a fine-grained texture and lovely freshness to support the nuanced black and blue fruit layers, finishing on a lingering mineral note. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 1.5% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Petit Verdot. It has a pH of 3.67 and the alcohol is 13.5%. Yields were 29 hl/ha. The wine is aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% new. (LPB)
