2019 Château Calon Ségur Le Marquis de Calon Ségur

The estate's Second Wine offers a different interpretation of the Calon terroir. With an average of 75% Merlot in the blends, Le Marquis de Calon Ségur completely distinguishes itself from the First Wine. “It benefits from a real personal expression,” underlines Vincent Millet. “The plots were separated from the start.” Le Marquis de Calon Ségur provides immediate pleasure, warmth and a velvety texture. It is generally carefully aged for 17 months in oak barrels, a third of which are new. Wonderfully easy to drink, silky smooth and expressive, the charm comes to the fore, while at the same time bringing the elegance of the Grand Vin to our minds.

The soil consists of a thick layer of gravel, deposited during the Quaternary period. Mainly clay subsoil from the Tertiary. On top of the gravel deposits there is also a fine layer of clay of lacustrine origin. The area consists of 55 ha (136 acres), of which 45 ha is planted. The average age of the vines is 20 years. A first selection of grapes on the vine. Mechanical sorting of the grapes by means of vibration, followed by manual sorting. Temperature-controlled tronconical stainless steel tanks.

The 2019 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is a fantastic second wine. Full, bold and dramatic, the 2019 makes a huge impression. Black cherry, plum, new leather, graphite and incense build as this flamboyant, opulent Saint-Estèphe shows its considerable appeal. The 2019 is a great wine.
