Château Rauzan-Ségla

This 43 hectare château has made major strides since its purchase by Chanel in 1994. It is fair to say that it now punches fully to its 1885 classification and is one of the great Super-Seconds. Only half of the harvest is used in the first wine of this illustrious property. The first vintage produced by new winemaker Nicolas Audebert is a resounding success.

Winemaker Nicolas Audebert has produced a sensational wine in 2016, aged in 60% new oak for 18 months. Round and intense with a fragrant feminine touch, there is a lovely black fruit sweetness within the tight tannin structure. The mouth feel portrays a silkiness and purity with undertones of spice and pepper. A great wine.

Great paired with duck breast with bacon, cabbage and balsamic dressing.
