Chateau Rauzan-Segla

Floral and sophisticated, the 2017 vintage brings us a subtle composition with stone fruit and spicy overtones. Lovely sweet Maltese orange espouses the notes of ripe apricot, with the apricot’s soft, velvety texture and that lovely tanginess when it caramelizes, a wonderful ambivalence between liveliness and maturity. The background tobacco is sweet and perfumed, the strawberry is powdered and candied. Fig mingles with the biscuity aromas and the rose has hints of cinnamon. The texture is soft, unctuous, and stretches out endlessly. A nice trim wine, which is long on the palate and leaves complex yet delicate aromas in its wake.
