Written Notes

The 1939 Rauzan-Ségla was picked from 3 to 15 October under both humid and cold conditions. It has a wide degraded brick colour with a tawny rim. Given the reputation of the vintage, the nose is not forgivable. Light sandalwood and undergrowth scents, little in the way of fruit but in no way can it be described as malodorous. The palate is simple but balanced, probably heavily chaptalized but what choice would they have had at the time? It is quite Burgundy-like in style with a savory, dried-blood tinged finish. 169 barrels produced. Tasted at the Rauzan-Ségla vertical at the château.
