Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Ségla Margaux 2018 is a polished Bordeaux red wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation. It is produced by Château Rauzan-Ségla, a Second Growth estate in Margaux, and is commonly recognized as the château’s second wine. Winebow’s 2018 Ségla profile notes the estate’s 52 hectares of vineyards, with plantings made up of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, and describes Ségla 2018 as deep ruby in appearance with blueberry and vanilla aromas.

The wine offers classic Margaux elegance: dark berries, blackcurrant, plum, dark cherry, blueberry, violet, vanilla, spice, subtle cedar, and gentle earthy notes. On the palate, it is dry, smooth, and refined, with ripe fruit, fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a polished, floral finish. The 2018 vintage in Margaux is known for ripe fruit and generous structure, while still retaining the perfume and finesse expected from the appellation.

This is a great choice for customers looking for an elegant Left Bank Bordeaux with Château Rauzan-Ségla pedigree, but in a more approachable second-wine style. Serve it with roast lamb, steak, duck breast, beef stew, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, aged cheese, and classic French-style dinners.
