1962 Bordeaux wine will always live in the shadow of the legendary 1961 Bordeaux vintage. However, some very fine 1962 wines were produced. While not a great vintage, 1962 Bordeaux wine would have a lot more fans today if it did not suffer from following on the heels of the historic 1961 vintage. Nowadays '62's' are not found so easily, but here is a great example of the feminine wines from that vintage.
Chateau Rauzan-Segla has a long and interesting history dating all the way back to 1661. The beginning of the 18th century sparked the division between Rauzan Segla and Rauzan Gassies. The second brother, known as Sieur de Gassies began making his wine separately from his two brothers. This practice continued for decades. Obviously, that caused too much friction. Eventually, the estates separated. 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. Slightly more than half their vineyard is well placed, directly adjacent to the chateau. They also have vines close to Chateau Margaux and not far from Brane Cantenac.
