60% of new oak barrels and 40% of one-year-old barrels during 18 months.
Tasting Notes:
“Ségla is made of grapes from the youngest vines of the property (less than 10 years old). Since 1994, when CHANEL bought the property, many improvements have been made in the cellars and in the vineyards. The aim is to produce a good value for money second wine, while respecting the Margaux expression and catching glimpse of the first wine Château Rauzan-Ségla. Attractive Margaux made in a very approachable style, even for a 2009, with sweet cassis fruit and stylish oak integration. The wine has good acidity for the vintage, with elegant, fine-grained tannins and good palate length. Not a keeper, but attractive now.”
