I underrated the 2015 Rauzan-Ségla on release. It’s a big, rich, incredibly sexy wine that’s certainly in the same ballpark as the 2016 (and 2018). Full-bodied, ripe, and concentrated, it has a wonderfully expansive...

Incredibly polished and silky on the palate, the wine is deep, concentrated, luscious and sexy. Even though this is just a baby in terms of its evolution, the wine already offers flowers, spice box, licorice and sweet...

Extremely aromatic with dried flowers, perfumed and sandalwood and blackcurrants. Full body, ultra-fine tannins, a gorgeous core of ripe fruit and blackcurrants and blueberries. Racy and very long. So impressive. This...

Packed full of blackberry, redcurrant, creme de cassis, chocolate shavings, slate, tar, supple yet muscular texture to the tannins, this tugs you back in, taking its time as it slowly unrolls. Great stuff, still a little...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2020

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Rauzan-Ségla offers up an expressive nose of baked blackberries, kirsch, warm cassis and baked plums with hints of cigar box and tilled soil. Full-bodied, rich and expansive in the...

The Wine Independent, November 2022

The 2015 Rauzan-Segla is medium to deep garnet colored. It prances out with gregarious notes of redcurrant jelly, kirsch, and blackcurrant cordial, plus hints of rose oil and cloves with a waft of tree bark. The medium to...

Decanter, November 2019

Dating back to 1661, Rauzan-Segla had under-performed for many years prior to its purchase in 1994 by Chanel owners, the Wertheimer family. With significant investment, the estate has regained its former glory. Highly...

Wine Enthusiast, February 2018

Structure is the watchword for this wine. With dark tannins and concentration, it obviously has long-term potential. At the same time, the black-currant fruits are ripe and full bodied, giving rich contrast to the...

Wine Spectator, March 2018

Takes a very fresh approach, with an open-knit feel to the mulled raspberry and red currant fruit. Pretty lilac, incense and singed apple wood notes underscore the fruit, while silky but persistent tannins carry the...

The 2015 Rauzan-Segla (Rausan-Segla) is a remarkable Bordeaux Blend that showcases the excellence of the Margaux region in France. With its deep garnet-purple color, this wine is a visual delight, enticing the senses even before the first sip.

On the nose, the 2015 Rauzan-Segla reveals an expressive bouquet of baked blackberries, kirsch, warm cassis, and baked plums. Hints of cigar box and tilled soil add complexity and intrigue. As the wine unfolds on the palate, it unveils a full-bodied and rich character, with layer upon layer of bold red and black fruit preserves. Earthy accents and a velvety texture contribute to its opulent and luxurious mouthfeel. The finish is long and lively, leaving a lasting impression.

Crafted from a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the grapes were harvested between September 10th and October 9th, resulting in optimal ripeness. With an average yield of 40 hectoliters per hectare, the wine showcases the meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard. After fermentation, it was aged for 18 months in French oak, 65% of which was new, enhancing its complexity and structure.

Renowned wine critics have lauded the 2015 Rauzan-Segla for its exceptional quality. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it an impressive score of 97 points, noting its expansive texture and bold fruit preserves. Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com awarded the wine a staggering 98 points, describing it as incredibly polished, concentrated, and full-bodied. Jeb Dunnuck also awarded it 98 points, stating that it is a big, ripe, and incredibly sexy wine with a huge finish.

This wine has immense aging potential and will continue to evolve and develop for decades to come. It is a true gem from the Margaux region and a testament to the skill and dedication of the Rauzan-Segla estate. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for the future, the 2015 Rauzan-Segla is a wine that will captivate and enchant any wine lover.
