Critic Scores

93Wine Spectator

Very ripe, with an almost raisiny edge. Light vanilla flavor. Full-bodied, with lots of ripe fruit and a long, caressing, silky finish. Gorgeous wine.

92Decanter

This is definitely showing notes of evolution at this point. It is from a warmer vintage, and the character of the growing season comes through in the wine's spicy notes. There is clear warmth and generosity on display here, with soft, brambled fruits and cured leather.

91Vinous

Saturated ruby-red, even darker than the '96. Currant, raspberry, tobacco and cedary oak on the nose. Full and sweet in the middle palate, with strong, lively flavors. Here the toothcoating tannins seem slightly less well integrated today but they are ripe and even. Really creamy in the mouth, but with the structure to age.

90Jeb Dunnuck

Not far in maturity from the 1996, the 1995 Rauzan-Ségla is slightly richer and more foursquare, with chocolate black fruits, spice, and tobacco aromas and flavors. Rich, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and with still present tannins, it has more weight and richness but less complexity than the 1996. It too will continue drinking nicely for another decade or more.

17.5Jancis Robinson MW

First entire vintage of the new owners who arrive in July 1994. Much darker and more concentrated than the 1996. Some floral fragrance but more obvious ripeness on the nose than the fresher 1996. Very solid with rather winning framework. Very dry rather than sweet on the finish. Solid with some still-inky tannins. Lots of chew but pretty magnificent, for the future. Hot, dry summer has made quite a bruiser of a vintage with very firm tannins.

About this Wine

Chateau Rauzan Segla

Rauzan-ségla was once part of the vast rausan estate owned by pierre de mesures de rauzan in the mid-17th century. Over time, this estate was divided, and by the time of the 1855 classification, had been separated into the estates of château rauzan-gassies, château rauzan-ségla, château desmirail, and château marquis de terme.

After a long ownership by the durand-dasier family, the estate was acquired by frédéric cruse of the cruse family in 1903 who held ownership until 1957, and until 1989 it belonged to liverpool shipping magnate john holt. by 1982 the estate had hired the consultant services of émile peynaud, and in 1989 the property was purchased by brent walker. whatever plans he had, however, were not to bear fruit; in 1994 he sold the estate on to the wertheimer family of chanel, who installed a winemaking team led by david orr and john kolasa (both from chateau latour). Chanel remain the current owners, and they are credited with continuing to push the quality ever higher.
