CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
The 2009 vintage saw pretty ideal temperatures from beginning to end. This is a truly lovely wine which I also experienced recently at the 10 years on tasting in London, where it was highly seductive - and its even better here. There are some notes of evolution here, with tobacco, soft leather, brambly red fruits and touches of exotic spice. You could drink it now - its less aloof than the 2010 - but it will age, and theres no question that this will be a thrilling, delicious, gulpable wine. Harvest ran from 22 September to 11 October, with a yield of 41hl/ha. 3.69pH.

A classic Margaux, this blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot reveals a dense plum/blue/purple color in addition to a sumptuous perfume of subtle new oak interwoven with underbrush, black currants, black raspberries, spring flowers, and a hint of dusty, loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied with sweet but abundant tannin, and beautiful purity, texture and equilibrium, the 2009 Rauzan Segla will provide enjoyable drinking over the next three decades. About the only thing controversial about the 2009 Rauzan Segla will be the label designed by Chanel’s artistic director, Karl Lagerfeld, for the estate’s 350th anniversary.
