Château Rauzan-Ségla
Château Rauzan-Ségla and Mouton Rothschild were historically considered the leading Second Classified Growth Bordeaux properties during the 19th century. It wasn’t until the 1980s that Rauzan-Segla’s renaissance flowered, under the watchful eye of the eminent and leading oenologist, Professor Émile Peynaud.
Following a succession of eye-catching fine wines, Chanel bought the estate in 1994. More recently, Nicolas Audebert, (former winemaker at Cheval des Andes, the LVMH property in Mendoza Argentina) joined the ambitious team.
Under Chanel, Rauzan-Ségla has enjoyed considerable renovation and renewed splendor, headed by the noted architect, Peter Marino, who designed the Chanel building in Tokyo and the Dior boutique in New York.
Chateau Rauzan-Ségla is well known for its ethical and organic approach to wine making. The estate’s 45 hectares of vineyard - planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot- typically use Shire horses to farm a portion of their vines echoing traditions of wine making history.
With a mixed terrain, mostly gravel with clay soils, Château Rauzan-Ségla produces an excellent second wine, Segla.
