// 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 54% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot
"Around the historic heart of the vineyard, Ségla develops its own distinct personality. Full of vigor and lusciousness, it shares the delicacy of its older sibling. Present and silky, it's also fruity, a pure pleasure that captivates from the first sip. An instant power capable of transcending time. Margaux in its suppleness and aromatic purity. A dazzling experience." - Chateau Rauzan-Segla, Winemaker
"Fairly deep blackish garnet. Complete, obviously left-bank wine with a beginning, middle and end. Blackberry compote again. Served slightly too warm for refreshment value. But a true vin de plaisir! Longish." - 16.5/20, Jancis Robinson
"The 2019 Ségla has a tertiary, smoky, pencil box scented bouquet, a bit grouchier than its Margaux peers, stubborn in its flush of youth. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, pretty and quite elegant with a keen thread of acidity. There is impressive precision on the finish, quite mineral-driven with a satisfyingly persistent aftertaste. This Deuxième Vin always shines in blind tastings, its seductiveness shining through. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting." - 93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
"Bright nose here, giving red summer berry notes, smells inviting and pretty. Good clarity and definition on the palate, I love the approachability, this is juicy and confident, quite a bright style, nice and playful with freshly-picked strawberry flavours coming out. Nicely integrated tannins, on the supple side with a touch of minerality and dryness. Feels well made and I love the depth you get from the ripe fruit but at the same time being bright and energetic. An elegant, quite charming second wine." - 93 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter
