Description
Founded in 1661, Rauzan-Segla quickly gained a fine reputation both domestically and internationally. This was confirmed by its Second Growth status in the 1855 classification. Top fashion house Chanel purchased the estate in 1994, maintaining the same attention to detail in both wine and perfume production. They spare no expense in producing the finest wine imaginable. The blend of 2011 vintage is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak, 70% new for 16 month.
Tasting Notes :
Perfumed red currant fruit jumps straight out of the glass, with a darker, earthier forest fruit edge following on. A grainy, floral lift comes through and really adds to the aromatic pyrotechnics here! Full, fresh and rounded with the sweetness of fruit, you really feel the texture and fresh crunch in the mouth. This is considered and focused with great length. It is super impressive for this vintage.
