Château Rausan-Ségla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chateau Rauzan-Ségla is a winery in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. Chateau Rauzan-Ségla is also the name of the red wine produced by this property. The château was classified as one of fifteen Seconds Crus Classés (Second Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 (today there are only 14 Second Growths, with Château Mouton-Rothschild being reclassified as a First Growth).

[edit] History

Rauzan-Ségla was part of the vast Rauzan estate owned by Pierre de Mesures de Rauzan in the mid-17th century. Over time, this estate was divided, and by the time of the 1855 Classification, had been separated into the estates of Château Rauzan-Gassies, Château Rausan-Ségla, Château Desmirail, and Château Marquis de Terme.
