Critic reviews
"The 2023 Rauzan-Ségla is pure and seamless, exhibiting aromas of cherries and cassis, pencil shavings and a nicely integrated patina of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a rich core of fruit, sweet tannins and lively acids, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish."
William Kelley, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Rauzan Ségla has quite a plush nose for the vintage, perhaps more 2022 in style, scents of cassis, black plum, vanilla and camphor that emerge with aeration. The palate is classy: very cohesive, smooth, with well-defined, chiseled tannins. The oak is very well integrated, with a persistent finish that tempts you back for more. While not quite matching the very best recent vintages, it is only a nose behind."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Rauzan-Ségla is magnificent. The marriage of elegance and power is just compelling. Rich, layered and nearly seamless in the glass, the 2023 is so impressive. Dried herbs, cedar, tobacco and incense capture tons of Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness. The intensity of the dark red/purplish fruit is remarkable. Rauzan-Ségla is one of the wines of the vintage. Tasted three times."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"The polish and beauty to this is really impressive, with blackberry, black currant, milk chocolate, cherry and a hint of stone aromas that are pulled together in a subtle way. it's medium- to full-bodied with class and sophistication. 85% cabernet sauvignon, 13.5% merlot and 1.5% petit verdot. One of the highest percentages of cabernet ever. Needs four or five years to come together. Best after 2029."

"Delivers on En Primeur promise, slate texture to sink into, just a delicious wine that you want to share. Will keep expanding and improving over the next decade, this captures the beauty of the vintage, classic but with hidden powers, savoury brambled blackberry and bilberry, juicy with graphite, crayon and gunsmoke. 50% new oak for ageing."
