Château Rauzan-Ségla, Second Growth winery in Margaux, France

Château Rauzan-Ségla is a winery in Margaux whose pale cream stone building, rebuilt by architect Louis Garros in 1904–1905, has a steep red-tiled roof with dormer windows and a round-arched passage at its centre. A double flight of shallow stone steps leads to a raised terrace, and a smaller pavilion with a conical tiled roof stands to the left. The vineyard covers 66 hectares, planted 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 1.5% Cabernet Franc and 3.5% Petit Verdot.

The estate began in the 17th century as part of Pierre de Mesures de Rauzan's holdings and took its current form through rebuilding by architect Louis Garros. The name was established in 1903 and has defined this winery's identity since then.

The name Ségla comes from Catherine de Rauzan, who married Baron Pierre Louis de Ségla in 1785. In 2011, for the estate's 350th anniversary, Karl Lagerfeld designed the label for the 2009 vintage. The second wine is called Ségla.

The estate lies in Margaux-Cantenac, in the Médoc south of Bordeaux; the building seen from the road is the early-20th-century château by Louis Garros, with a conical-roofed pavilion to its left. Visits are by appointment, so book ahead and confirm the language of the tour. The courtyard and gravel paths are uneven; allow time to reach the vineyards beyond the buildings.

In 2011, for the estate's 350th anniversary, Karl Lagerfeld drew the label for the 2009 vintage. The name Ségla came from Catherine de Rauzan, who married Baron Pierre Louis de Ségla in 1785. An 1835 illustration by Gustave de Galard shows the château still resembling a chartreuse.
