Marquis de Calon Ségur, St Estèphe, 2017

Marquis de Calon Ségur 2024 offers a pleasingly glossy profile, with bright damson fruit taking centre stage. It benefits from a plot of Merlot that normally goes into the Grand Vin. A nice perfume lifts the aromas, leading to clear and direct flavours on the palate. The tannins feel well-judged, providing gentle support. Crafted from a blend of Merlot (63%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (37%) resulting in a wine of balance and charm with a relatively modest 13.2% of alcohol.
