Le Marquis de Calon Ségur 2024

Luminous ruby; on the nose, ripe blackcurrant fruit, charred wood, plums, fennel; silky on the palate, refined, balanced, not overly concentrated, showing finesse and precision; pleasantly long finish, ending peppery-spicy and very fresh.

63% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon. 45 hl/ha. Cask sample. Attractive red-fruit nose with a hint of vanilla oak. Supple and gourmand with freshness and delicate tannins. A serious wine with a light-hearted edge. (JL)

A gentle, penetrating nose of crunchy black fruit, like a soloist’s voice rising across the countryside. Then, in the background, delicate notes of flower petals in the rain emerge. On the palate, sublime finesse and precision. The freshness and tension on the palate convey a sense of energy, while the tannins softly caress the palate. The intense fruit carries through to a juicy, persistent finish.
