In a few words ...
The estate's second wine is a different expression of the Calon terroir. Marquis de Calon Ségur is an immediately accessible, sunny, velvety wine. It is carefully aged for 17 months, with a third of the barrels new. Luscious, silky and expressive, it plays on its immediate charm while recalling the elegance of a great wine.
"In this sunny vintage, Calon Ségur's second wine shows great finesse in its aromatic expression and unfolds a more powerful palate than usual, composing a superb wine for ageing, harmonious, ample and racy."

Aroma
The bouquet reveals notes of cassis, violet, mocha, vanilla, spices and licorice.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Roasted | Smoked
Taste
The wines of Saint-Estèphe have strong tannins and thus reach their maturity more slowly than most other medals. They offer black fruits, a note of freshness, often a woody or smoky aspect and a floral touch.
