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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 56% Cabernet sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 7% Cabernet franc, 2% petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Barrel Sample for this wine is above 14% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second wine of classed growth Calon Ségur, this is becoming impressive in its own right. This vintage shows the structured side of Saint-Estèphe while also showing generous black fruits and bright acidity. It is set to age well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarrel Sample: 93-95\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e93 James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid red with a deep, dense center palate and a balance of berry, spice and chocolate character. It’s full and linear at the finish. Better than the 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarrel Sample: 92-93\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e93 Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgeously plump blackberry and damson fruit here, high impact with chewy tannins that build through the palate and give an impression of confidence and pleasure. A clear crowd pleaser, with cocoa bean and chocolate shavings, no need to wait too long to approach. 30% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarrel Sample: 93\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep purple-black colored, the 2019 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur wafts out of the glass with fragrant potpourri, garrigue and Darjeeling tea scents over a core of redcurrant jelly, plum preserves and blackcurrant pastilles plus a touch of cracked black pepper. The full-bodied palate has a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins with loads of freshness supporting the crunchy black fruits, finishing long and savory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarrel Score: 90-92\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bottle of wine I'd happily drink, the 2019 Le Marquis De Calon Ségur sports a ruby\/purple hue as well as classic Saint-Estèphe notes of red and black fruits, damp earth, leafy herbs, and even some spicy, floral nuances that I don't normally find in young Saint-Estèphe. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's nicely balanced, has well-integrated acidity and tannins, and outstanding length. It's a rock solid second wine with loads to love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Calon-Ségur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43384921129184,"sku":"102010","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-calon-segur-marquis-de-calon-saint-estephe_1_a297ddd6-76f1-4f19-a61b-c85a38d01458.jpg?v=1663883939","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-calon-segur-marquis-de-calon-saint-estephe-2018-750ml-1","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
