2025 Rauzan-Ségla, Margaux

Gorgeous vibrant pink rim to the wine with violet aromas on the nose, very dark but very perfumed and not at all hot or sunny. So juicy and alive with structure – the soft tannins give the outline while the real fruit purity sits in the middle. I love this a lot, very approachable, streamlined and focused with layers of fine tannins and brightness. You can feel the concentration in the construction but this carries a really fun, friendly, welcoming aspect because of the juiciness on the mid-palate. (GH)

I really admire the restraint and depth of Rauzan‑Ségla’s 2025. Where some vintages lean more toward power, this one is all about texture, refinement, and elegance. A core of deep red fruits, wonderful savory notes, and long, fine tannins puts the concentration of the Cabernet squarely at center stage. We were fortunate to taste it multiple times, and it delivered on every occasion. For those who gravitate toward the graceful side of Margaux, or who appreciate a wine that continues to overperform for its modest price point, Rauzan‑Ségla has been a go‑to for years. The 2025 is another strong chapter in that story.
