Le Marquis de Calon Ségur 2021 is the second wine of Château Calon Ségur, one of the most historic estates in Saint Estèphe. Produced from younger vines and selected parcels within the estate, it... offers a more approachable expression of this renowned terroir while retaining the character and structure of the grand vin. The vineyards are planted on gravel and clay soils typical of Saint Estèphe, well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These soils contribute to the wine’s depth and structure, while the proximity to the Gironde estuary helps to moderate temperatures and support even ripening. The 2021 vintage is a more classical Bordeaux year, favouring balance, freshness and precision over concentration. Le Marquis de Calon Ségur 2021 reflects this style, offering a refined and well balanced claret that is accessible earlier than the grand vin while still showing clear Saint Estèphe character.
