Description

With a history spanning over 350 years, Château Rauzan-Ségla is one of Margaux’s most distinguished estates, consistently producing wines of depth and finesse. Originally founded by Pierre de Rauzan in 1661, the château has been synonymous with quality for centuries, with its wines once sought after by Thomas Jefferson. Since its acquisition by Chanel in 1994, Rauzan-Ségla has seen a remarkable resurgence, with meticulous vineyard management and precision winemaking bringing it to new heights. The 2005 vintage, from one of Bordeaux’s most acclaimed years, showcases the château’s signature balance of richness and elegance, with layers of cassis, violet, and cedar unfolding into a long, structured finish. A classic Margaux with extraordinary ageing potential, this is a superb addition to any collector’s cellar.

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.
