The 2010 is the last Boucheres made by Roulot.

The high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon is due to the fact that most of Rausan-Segla's Merlot vineyards are young and not well drained - a deadly combination in such a wet year as 1994. This powerful 1994 will require patience. The color is an opaque, dense, purple\/black. The nose offers toasty new oak aromas (60% new oak barrels are utilized each year), along with those of subtle, ripe cassis fruit. Full-bodied, with a 1986-ish feel, high tannin, considerable power and thickness, and potentially higher ripeness and intensity than the 1986 possessed, the 1994 will require 10 years of cellaring; it should last for 25 or more years. It is unquestionably the most powerful and concentrated 1994 of the Margaux appellation. Most Bordeaux enthusiasts recognize that Rausan-Segla's return to fine wine production began with a stunning 1983. With the acquisition of this estate by Chanel, it is poised to become the second finest wine of the appellation (following only Margaux). - Robert Parker 90-92\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46427643052271,"sku":"8797","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/1994ChateauRauzanSeglaMargaux.png?v=1746227706"},{"product_id":"2000-pavie-decesse","title":"Pavie-Decesse 2000","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGerard Perse’s 2000 Pavie Decesse, a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc from a vineyard situated above Pavie, on the steep limestone hillsides outside the walled town of St.-Emilion, is a fabulous effort (all the Perse wines are stunning in this vintage).

The wine has closed down completely since bottling, but it is a sensational effort that may ultimately merit an even higher score. The wine is opaque purple-colored. With coaxing, the tight aromatics reveal some weedy cassis intertwined with truffles, chocolate, and beef blood-like aromas. On the palate, there is an element of sur-maturite (1995 was an extremely late harvest at Calon-Segur), fabulous density and purity, and a boatload of tannin. This deep, broodingly backward, classic Bordeaux will require a decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035. Proprietor Madame Gasqueton (one of The Wine Advocate's heroines of 1997) has produced two unqualified back to back successes.
