Since its acquisition by Chanel in 1994, the estate has undergone a complete renaissance, prioritizing organic farming practices, meticulous plot-by-plot vinification, and uncompromising quality selection. The estate's deep gravel soils over clay subsoils allow Cabernet Sauvignon to develop regal structure, while Merlot provides its signature velvety mid-palate and floral aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage in Margaux was exceptional, marked by warm, sunny days and cool nights that preserved natural acidity. Hand-harvested and parcel-selected, the 2019 Rauzan-Ségla is a triumph of balance and refinement. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (60% new), it strikes a harmonious balance between intense cassis and dark plum fruit, exquisite floral aromas of violets, and a firm, fine-grained tannic backbone built to age for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA historic Second Growth Margaux from an exceptional Bordeaux vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines signature Margaux floral elegance with concentrated dark fruit and seamless structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA captivating bouquet of crushed cassis, dark cherries, violets, graphite, pipe tobacco, and cedar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilky yet firm tannins create a polished, multi-layered mouthfeel with tremendous length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe at cool room temperature between 60°F and 64°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend a 1.5 to 2-hour decant to let this young vintage uncoil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into Bordeaux stems to channel its complex aromatics and broad structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ideal match for herb-crusted rack of lamb, roasted venison, chateaubriand, or aged Comté.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47733755478070,"sku":"SOMM2609-SGLA19MGX-750","price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2019ChateauRauzan-Segla_Margaux_2ndGrowth.png?v=1789404333","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2019-chateau-rauzan-segla-margaux-2nd-growth","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
