Description
A particularly assured Rauzan-Segla, that has translated a warm, generous vintage into a Margaux of clarity and restraint. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, delivering lifted blackcurrant, violet and graphite notes over a supple, finely layered core. William Kelley at The Wine Advocate (96 points) highlights the estate’s precision in 2022, noting the wine’s seamless texture and calm confidence despite the vintage’s intensity. Vinous (96 points) also emphasizes its aromatic poise and refined tannin profile, framing concentration over exoticism and extravagance. The palate is polished and focused, with savory undertones and a long, mineral finish that speaks clearly to Margaux. This is a composed, contemporary Rauzan-Segla built for graceful aging. Drink from 2028, with a long plateau expected through 2050 and beyond.
