    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    After the magnificent Capbern, this feels a little lit looser knit and less harmonious, the additional Merlot lends a charming florality, and a smoother, rounder texture. Some alluring glossy fruit – the oak is more present. It is definitely a big step up for Marquis, but for our tastes it has to be Capbern every time.

    The 2022 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur, which contains 15% alcohol, represents 43% of this year's volume. There's copious red fruit on the nose, and redcurrant, wild strawberry and orange pith notes filter through with time. Shows impressive delineation considering the level of alcohol. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and a firm structure. A fine graphite element threads from start to finish with a detailed, very Saint-Estèphe ending.

    A blend of 58% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Le Marquis de Calon Segur is deep garnet-purple in color. It strides out of the glass with confident blackcurrant jelly and blueberry pie notes, giving way to suggestions of Indian spices, dusty soil, and unsmoked cigars. Big, rich, and generously fruited, the full-bodied palate is well-supported by firm, rounded tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing with great length. pH 3.65.

    Violet reflections, dense fully ripe berries, tannins just the right side of constricting, with black berry, spiced plums, fresh almonds and smoked earth. 26hl/h yields. No pumping over here, and since 2021 they have been making greater use of fractions of press wine during blending. Hail impact brought yields down. 30% new oak
