From the outset, the depth and complexity of the Rauzan-Ségla bouquet are immediately apparent! Subtle hints of sweet spices emerge, while inviting notes of violets and blackberries, complemented by a touch of black pepper, underscore freshness and maturity. The smooth attack heralds a wine that is both ample and powerful. It creates a link between charm, power, and temperament with rare coherence, and finesse as its leitmotif. This wine is distinguished by the incisive character of its acidic structure and the suave touch of its tannins, all within a vibrant context and an exceptional surge of energy. A truly great wine. 2030-2070 - 98 to 99 Points - Yves Beck

Showing a depth of color, at first, you are almost overwhelmed by the violets, cherries and tobacco in the perfume. The initial sip shows off its character with elegance, vitality, and purity. Everything is in balance and harmony here. The silk and velvet finish is almost too much of a good thing. From start to finish, the wine is seamless, and even though there is intensity and serious concentration, the wine feels almost weightless, making this deceptively easy to drink. Yet, don't be fooled. It has all the goods needed to age and evolve for decades. The wine blends of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon. 33% Merlot, 1.5% Petit Verdot and .5 Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. 3.67 pH. Harvesting took place September 2 - September 24. Yield were 29 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030-2070. - 97 to 99 Points - Jeff Leve

Having just experienced the brilliance of the second wine, I could hardly wait to encounter Château Rauzan-Ségla itself. And it responded just as I wished, with a beauty so dazzling it felt almost like falling in love. Unlike the restrained, half-veiled expression of previous vintages, Rauzan-Ségla 2025 reveals itself without hesitation. Before I even reach the glass, a dew-kissed violet rises from the glass, its sudden fragrance catching me completely off guard. What follows is a rush of blackcurrant, black goji berry, and bayberry, surging like a tide, scattering fresh, sweet juice across the senses. Thought fades, and I surrender completely. Most remarkable of all is its signature supple texture. That signature softness unfolds like layers of peony petals, gently enveloping every sensation, while deep in the finish, it quietly leaves behind a love letter sealed in a velvet envelope, soft, intimate and impossible to resist. - 97 to 99 Points - Alexandre Ma

Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate rim brightening. Candied violets, cassis, blackberry confit, delicate precious wood nuances, multi-faceted, suggestive bouquet. Complex, after heart cherries, strawberries, extract-sweet texture, silky tannins, highly elegant, mineral, great length, great promise for the future, secure development potential. - 98 Points - Peter Moser

Wow, a lingering bouquet; playful, floral, complex, profound, cool; highly elegant palate, top tannin, crisp fruit, dancingly light, full of energy and life, great arc of tension, excellent length. Once again, this Rauzan-Ségla is beyond all doubt. Grand Margaux cinema. (Drink from 2030 to 2065) -96 to 98 Points - Adrian Van Velsen
