Le MARQUIS de CALON SÉGUR
Second wine from Château Calon-Ségur
- 2023 Futures
- Saint-estèphe
Second wine of Calon Ségur with, since 2013, a heart on the label like its big brother.
Le Point : 15.5-16/20 « Nez discret, chocolaté, mûre, bouche onctueuse, gourmande. »
Quarin : 92/100 « Couleur sombre et intense. Nez très aromatique, au fruité pur, subtil et mûr. Bouche tout en arrondi et en suavité délicieuse. En plus, elle devient parfumée dans la seconde partie du palais, accompagnée d'une touche fine de réglisse et de bois neuf. Vin très hédoniste. »
Galloni : 91-93/100 « The 2023 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is a bright, beautifully focused wine. Graphite, lavender, mocha, chocolate, incense, licorice and crushed rocks all run through this gorgeous, wonderfully inviting Saint-Estèphe. This is an especially serious Le Marquis, perhaps because of the inclusion of some Merlot lots that usually go into the Grand Vin. In this tasting, I find the aromatic presence and structure of the Cabernet highly expressive and very much in the foreground. What a gorgeous wine this is. »
Martin : 90-92/100 « The 2023 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur represents has a composed bouquet with raspberry, blackberry, cedar and light tertiary scents. I appreciate the Saint-Estèphe DNA in its aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and fresh acidity, more complexity than the Capbern that precedes its and more substance on the finish. This is a very commendable second wine. »
