Even visually this stands apart with its inky, glass-staining ruby colour. Rich and powerful but restrained, this is a brilliant Calon Ségur, more old school than the past few vintages in that there is tight cassis, eucalyptus and mint leaf restraint, but still utterly luscious black cherry and damson fruits, concentrated, supple and chiselled tannins with a touch of crème de cassis and incense. Exceptionally impressive | Jane Anson | 2023 | 98
Druiven: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc en 1% Petit Verdot
3e Cru uit Saint-Estèphe met grote historische faam van met name Cabernet Sauvigon. Eén van de oudste landgoederen in Médoc dat jaar op jaar imponeert met haar wijnen. Zelfde eigenaar als Château Capborn (Gasqueton) in Saint-Estèphe. 2e label Marquis de Calon waarin Merlot domineert.
