The estate’s Second Wine offers a different interpretation of the Calon terroir. Le Marquis de Calon Ségur provides immediate enjoyment, warmth and a velvety texture. It is carefully aged generally for 17 months in oak barrels, a third of which are new. Deliciously easy-drinking, silky and expressive, its charm comes to the fore, while at the same time bringing to our minds the elegance of the Grand Vin. Blend: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. By Wine Maker @ Chateau Calon Segur.
A chewy, structured red with blackberry, chocolate and some walnut and bark. It’s full-bodied and solid with lots of fruit and tannins. Second wine of Calon Segur. Needs five or six years to soften. Try after 2026. By James Suckling, Jan 2022.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Le Marquis de Calon Segur rolls out effortlessly with exuberant notes of baked black cherries, warm cassis, and blueberry compote, plus hints of unsmoked cigars, dried roses, and fragrant earth. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate has velvety tannins and is packed with perfumed fruit, finishing long and lively. By Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW @ Wine Independent, May 2022.
A bottle of wine I'd happily drink, the 2019 Le Marquis De Calon Ségur sports a ruby/purple hue as well as classic Saint-Estèphe notes of red and black fruits, damp earth, leafy herbs, and even some spicy, floral nuances that I don't normally find in young Saint-Estèphe. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's nicely balanced, has well-integrated acidity and tannins, and outstanding length. It's a rock solid second wine with loads to love. By Jeb Dunnuck.
