Château Rauzan-Segla Grand Vin 2005
Vineyards
Margaux, Bordeaux, France
Winemaking and Maturation
Individual parcel and intra-parcel vinification, transferred into temperature-controlled stainless steel vat using gravity.
18 months in French oak barrels, 60% new with a medium or medium-long toasting. Racking via the bunghole. Fining with egg whites in barrel.
Tasting Notes
It is as if the winemaker sensed the appeal of revealing its photo in black and white while leaving a tantalising graininess. It emits an aura of mystery, a veil of modesty that creates a gentle and cocooning atmosphere that accounts for its charm.
The fruit seems to develop smoothly on the palate before reaching an uplifting finale. It has a lot of class. Vibrancy, too. Aromas of morello cherry, iris and rosemary. The fresh fig confers an aromatic hint that seems to last for ever and it has the texture of all great Margaux wines, between power and sophistication. A great Rauzan.
