Le Marquis de Calon Ségur 2022

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 is totally distinct from the First Wine. "It benefits from a true expression of its own", underlines Vincent Millet. "The plots are separated out from the beginning."

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.

Eye: Deep ruby colour with purple highlights.

Nose: Fresh aromas of red cherries and redcurrants, with subtle hints of cloves, orange zest and tobacco.

Palate: Powerful and well-balanced, with cherry, plum and nougat flavours. The alcohol, though present at 15%, is harmoniously integrated, offering a gourmet finish.

Food and wine pairing: This wine goes perfectly with grilled dishes, such as red meats or barbecued vegetables
