About Rauzan-Segla

Château Rauzan-Ségla is one of the oldest estates in Margaux, founded in the seventeenth century by Pierre de Rauzan, and was ranked Second Growth in the 1855 Classification. Since 1994 it has been owned by the Wertheimer family, owners of Chanel, who have restored the vineyard and buildings.

The vineyard lies on deep gravel and is planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Under its current owners Rauzan-Ségla has become one of the most consistent wines of Margaux, admired for its elegance, perfume and balance. The second wine is Ségla.
