Château Rauzan-Ségla, Second Growth winery in Margaux, France
Château Rauzan-Ségla is a winery in Margaux with about 51 hectares of vineyards planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The property combines historic cellars with modern production facilities spread across the estate grounds in the Médoc region.
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 estate's name reflects the heritage of earlier owners whose families shaped the local winemaking tradition over centuries. Visitors walking through the cellars can see how these practices continue to influence the way wine is produced today.
The winery offers guided tours through cellars and vineyards where visitors learn about wine production and can participate in tastings. It's best to check opening times beforehand and wear comfortable shoes, as you will spend considerable time outdoors and on uneven ground.
The Wertheimer family of Chanel bought the estate in 1994 and invested in extensive renovations that brought advanced winemaking equipment under Nicolas Audebert's direction. This transformation modernized the property while keeping its historical heritage intact.

The wine estates of Bordeaux spread across the Gironde department and produce wines under more than 60 appellations. The châteaux combine winemaking traditions with modern cellar techniques. Many properties open their doors to visitors, offering tours of vineyards, fermentation rooms, and barrel cellars. The grand estates of the Médoc, such as Château Margaux, Château Latour, or Château Mouton Rothschild, rank among the most recognized addresses in the region. In Saint-Émilion, châteaux cluster around the medieval village. The Entre-deux-Mers area features numerous smaller family operations. Wine routes traverse landscapes of vine rows and historic buildings. The architecture of the châteaux ranges from medieval fortresses to 18th and 19th-century residences. Some estates have commissioned contemporary cellars from architects like Norman Foster or Jean Nouvel. Tasting rooms allow visitors to sample different vintages and blends. Many domains also organize oenology workshops and receptions in their vineyards.
