2010 Chateau Rauzan Segla
2010 Chateau Rauzan Segla
The 2010 Chateau Rauzan Segla shows remarkable complexity, characteristic of this outstanding vintage. The wine opens up with aromas of perfectly ripe black fruits combined with notes of eucalyptus and dried herbs. The ageing aromas are discreet and elegant, just a subtle hint of vanilla. A pleasant minerality gives this vintage structure and purity. The palate is rich, powerful and concentrated with velvety smooth tannins. This solid, ripe and firm wine is worthy of its reputation.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
