This producer has a second wine called 'Segla', please ensure your merchant has the wine you are looking for. Second Growth. Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Previously called Chateau Rausan-Segla.
Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage) "A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Rauzan-Segla is medium to deep garnet in color. It waltzes out, with up-front notes of raspberry preserves, redcurrant jelly, and mulberries, opening out to hints of tobacco leaf, dried Provencal herbs, and mossy tree bark. The delicately crafted, medium-bodied palate is light on its feet and refreshing, featuring wonderfully silky tannins and a mineral lift on the long finish." - The Wine Palate

Floral and sophisticated, the 2017 vintage brings us a subtle composition with stone fruit and spicy overtones. Lovely sweet Maltese orange espouses the notes of ripe apricot, with the apricot’s soft, velvety texture and that lovely tanginess when it caramelizes, a wonderful ambivalence between liveliness and maturity. The background tobacco is sweet and perfumed, the strawberry is powdered and candied. Fig mingles with the biscuity aromas and the rose has hints of cinnamon. The texture is soft, unctuous, and stretches out endlessly. A nice trim wine, which is long on the palate and leaves complex yet delicate aromas in its wake.
