2025, Château Rauzan-Ségla, MARGAUX, 2ème Grand Cru Classé2nd growth 1855 Now comfortably established in the super second league. Huge efforts have been made by owners Chanel to make great wine at Rauzan. In our view this second growth is consistently the leading wine of the appellation after Palmer and Chteau Margaux itself 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 1. 5% Petit Verdot and 0. 5% Cabernet Franc. The 2025 Rauzan Sgla has a slight marine scent on the nose, well defined and marked by pure black fruit

The Petit Lion has the potential to be one of the Sleepers of the vintage

You really feel the limestone in the glass

The rare dry white wine of Château Pape Clément is made from around 50:50 Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle

discrete but wonderfully focused

and finely proportioned

A luxurious purple colour

Displaying superb clarity and salinity on the finish

when crushed in the palm of your hand in the thick of summer

layered and really long

with the same juicy orchard apple character that you find in La Chapelle

Vivid plum and ruby colour

It's gourmet
