He thus became a fervent admirer or Rauzan-Segla wines. Some decades later, the 1855 Classification ranked Chateau Rauzan-Segla as a Second Growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe current chateau was built in 1903, designed by architect Louis Garros, who drew inspiriation from the original Perigord-style buildings in the the chateau, as well as G. LeBreton who designed the park and green spaces. Then time went by and the chateau gradually fell into a slumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, CHANEL purchased Chateau Rauzan-S?gla in April 1994 and immediately started a full renovation programme. The vineyard has been drained ? a 15-kilometer network is now in place, 2 parcels of Petit Verdot were planted and 3 hectares of vines were grafted over with Merlot. Today, 51 hectares are in production for an average total production of 200 000 bottles ? Chateau Rauzan- S?gla and its second wine S?gla. The winery has been adapted and large vats progressively replaced by smaller capacities ? matching the parcels' sizes. From the 2004 picking on, grapes will be sorted on two 10-meter long vibrating tables, so that each single berry is checked before entering the vats. Maturation cellars have been completely renovated and a new room built for the bottling-labelling machines ? making Chateau Rauzan-S?gla fully independent for the entire production process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eJeb Dunnuck: 97-99 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis ch?teau has been firing on all cylinders of late, no doubt due to the talents of technical director Nicolas Audebert, and a wine that's going to flirt with perfection is their 2022 Ch?teau Rauzan-S?gla. Powerful notes of black cherries, currants, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and leafy herbs all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, concentrated texture, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. This is a legit great wine that's going to rival the 2010, 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eJames Suckling: 97-98 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eWine Advocate: 96-97 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e  \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eChateau Rauzan-Segla \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e France \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Bordeaux \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSubregion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMargaux\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVarietal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Bordeaux Blend \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSku\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e16444\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e ","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612898750831,"sku":"16444","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.grapesthewineco.com\/products\/chateau-rauzan-segla-margaux-2022-750ml","provider":"Grapes The Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
