Chateau Rauzan-Segla 2th Grand Cru Classe Margaux 2010 75cl

Chateau Rauzan-Segla ajalugu ulatab 17. sajandisse, kui Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan ostis veinimõisa Gascqi perekonnalt. Tänapäeval on nende kasutuses 72 hektarit maad, milles 60 % on Cabernet Sauvignoni all. Keskmiseks viinapuude vanuseks on tänapäeval 35 aastat. Chateau Rauzan Segla kääritamine toimub kontrollitud temperatuuri juures suurtes roostevabast terasest vaatides. Hiljem toimub veini laagerdamine 18-20 kuu jooksul tammest vaatides, millest 50 kuni 60 % on uued vaadid.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points
To reiterate, the 2010 Rauzan Segla is like a super-duper version of 1986. Displaying fabulous density, inky purple color, and a superb nose of forest floor with a hint of menthol as well as loads of creme de cassis, mocha and touches of chocolate and subtle oak, this full-bodied, deep, concentrated wine represents only 45% of the estate’s production. It is certainly not for those who can’t wait a few years for it to round into shape, as I suspect it needs at least 5-8 years of bottle age, but it should last for half a century or more. 95+

James Suckling – 98 Points
Beautiful clarity of fruit with raspberries and currants on the nose. Roses and other flowers too. It’s almost hard to describe, but there’s real purity. Full body, with fabulous balance and depth. It has everything in the right place. Best ever? Try it in 2018.
