Tasting Notes

A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot, the 2019 Ségla exhibits aromas of minty cassis, blackberries, rose petals and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant, it's deep and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish.

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, April 2022

The 2019 Ségla has a tertiary, smoky, pencil box scented bouquet, a bit grouchier than its Margaux peers, stubborn in its flush of youth. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, pretty and quite elegant with a keen thread of acidity. There is impressive precision on the finish, quite mineral-driven with a satisfyingly persistent aftertaste. This Deuxième Vin always shines in blind tastings, its seductiveness shining through. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind at Southwold. Brilliant ruby colour in the glass. Highly refined and subtle nose - layers of violet, blueberry and fresh blackcurrant wound together with savoury cedar and a hint of cocoa. The palate is vertical - fresh and lithe but deep, with subtle ripeness and deceptive intensity. Classically proportioned with a flourish of ripe blueberry and more blackcurrant at the core, this is very well done. Soft but persistent tannins give this a silky mouthfeel and great approachability. Effortlessly delicious.

The 2019 Segla is a blend of 54% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it has pronounced notes of baked plums, boysenberries, and cassis with touches of spice box, fragrant earth, and clove oil. Medium-bodied, it is refreshing and elegant with plenty of freshness and ripe, grainy tannins, finishing with an herbal lift.

The tannins have closed down from its En Primeur showing, suggesting there is a real depth to the fruit. Serious and subdued in feel, needs a good 20 minutes in the glass before showing its grilled cedar and liquorice-strewn cassis fruits.

The 2019 Ségla is absolutely gorgeous. Bright and effusive in the glass, with gorgeous aromatic presence, the 2019 impresses with its freshness, vivacity and energy. Crushed red berry fruit and sweet floral accents lend finesse throughout. The 2019 is lithe, elegant and classy from start to finish.

The 2019 Ségla has quite a reserved, well-defined bouquet, offering slightly earthy blackberry and raspberry scents and a light ferrous note. The palate is nicely structured and quite high-toned on the entry, with cassis and blueberry scents. The finish feels quite hemmed in at the moment but it will broaden out with bottle age. Fine.
