Château Rauzan-Ségla, a Second Growth with First Growth ambition, hit a perfect stride in 2009. This vintage delivers all the plush, perfumed allure Margaux is famous for, wrapped in a ripe and structured package. It’s a wine that combines muscle and elegance with seamless precision.
The blend (predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot) reveals blackcurrant, violets, and subtle mocha over fine-grained tannins. Polished, powerful, yet graceful—this is the kind of wine that makes collectors swoon and sommeliers nod.
Tasting Notes:
Cassis, rose petal, graphite, mocha, and cedar.
Food Pairing:
Lamb rack, mushroom Wellington, grilled ribeye, or aged gouda.
Accolades:
96 pts Wine Spectator; 94 pts Robert Parker; a top buy in 2009 Margaux.
Vineyard & Terroir:
Gravel-rich soils in the heart of Margaux’s best vineyards. Meticulous parcel selection and strict sorting.
Why We Like It:
It’s Margaux with backbone—beautiful to drink now, with the structure to age. Decadent, precise, and undeniably elegant.
