The Charming Introduction to a Classified Growth

Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is the highly sought-after second wine of Château Calon Ségur, a Third Growth of the 1855 Classification. It beautifully captures the essence of the Saint-Estèphe terroir in a more immediately gratifying style.

Sommelier’s Notes

With a blend that often leans towards Merlot (typically around 50%) for early softness, this wine is luscious and well-structured. It offers a bouquet of dark berries, plum, and subtle notes of sweet tobacco and damp earth. The palate is elegant, with polished tannins and a refreshing acidity that promises good longevity.

• Appearance: Rich, deep ruby.
• Aromas: Dark cherry, blackcurrant, graphite, faint vanilla.
• Mouthfeel: Smooth and full-bodied, retaining the classic structure of its appellation.

Food Match & Service

A superb choice for a sophisticated Sunday lunch or a special occasion. Its Saint-Estèphe character shines when paired with rich, savoury dishes. Serve at 16-18°C.
