Imported by Williams Standing, London
2nd Growth Bordeaux from Margaux.
Chateau Rauzan-Segla has a long and interesting history dating all the way back to 1661.
The 52 hectare Margaux vineyard of Rauzan Segla has increased in size over the years. Most notably in 2008, when they purchased 8.5 hectares from Chateau de La Bourgade. While much of their vines are planted on the Cantenac plateau, they also have vines planted in parcels that are close to the little village of Margaux.
The terroir of Rauzan Segla is mostly gravel with clay soils. Chateau Rauzan Segla is planted to 54% Cabernet Sauvignon , 41% Merlot , 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc . The new plantings feature more Merlot vines at the expense of Cabernet Sauvignon and the addition of Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines is close to 35 years of age.
1962 wines represent an outstanding vintage that was overshadowed by legendary 1961 one! Consequently, it is one of the most underrated vintages still available. Good weather in the summer and harvest led to what, at the time was a record crop. The wines were delightful and well proportioned across all regions from the start and the top wines have maintained this quality to this day. The wines should last for a few more years.
