This château has been firing on all cylinders of late no doubt due to the talents of technical director Nicolas Audebert and a wine that's going to flirt with perfection is their 2022 Château Rauzan-Ségla. Powerful notes of black cherries currants smoked tobacco chocolate and leafy herbs all define the aromatics and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness a deep layered concentrated texture ripe yet building tannins and a great finish. This is a legit great wine that's going to rival the 2010 2015 2016 2018 and 2020.

11 Apr 2023 ? The freshness and clarity of the fruit is really something with black currants and cherries. Brilliant. Full-bodied layered and round with polished tannins. I like the intensity and focus with such precision and gorgeousness. Is this the 2016 plus more?

The 2022 Rauzan-Ségla is a beautifully sensual charming wine bursting with aromas of cherries dark berries and plums mingled with hints of violets sweet loamy soil and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied deep and layered it's fleshy and enveloping with an ample core of vibrant fruit supple tannins and a long succulent finish. The 2022 is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon 26% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot; and in 2022 the east-facing sides of the vines which see the afternoon sun were picked separately along with anything that showed signs of stress.
Vinous: 95-97 Points
The 2022 Rauzan-Ségla was picked 2 to 28 September at 30hL/ha and matured for 18 months in 50% new oak. Nicolas Audebert told me that it contains 17% vin de presse which is slightly higher than normal a combination of 150 separate vinifications. This has a very opulent bouquet with layers of black cherries créme de cassis and violets. Perhaps just a little too decadent? The palate is medium-bodied with fine balance grainy tannins very pure and focused with quite a minerally finish. Long in the mouth. It's just missing that knockout blow at the moment yet it's still a supremely well-crafted Margaux.
