A tiny hint of espresso, flowers, Indian spices, and bright, red fruits in the nose open the wine. Medium-bodied, soft, vibrant and crisp, the red fruits have sweetness, lift, energy and a tint of spice, with a sprig of refreshing mint that comes in at the end of the finish. This will drink well young. Drink from 2025-2038.

(88-90 vvPunkte) Kiesel und Sandböden, zwischen Phélan-Ségur, Meyney und Tronquoy-Lalande. 28 September Merlot, 13 Oktober die Lese des Cabernets abgeschlossen. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot. Kräftiges Rubin. Die Nase ist sehr sauber, rotfruchtig, mit dezent floralen Noten und feuchtem Kieselstein. Feiner Gaumen, leicht cremige Textur, frisch und knackig mit wohl dosiertem Gerbstoff, einer feinen Säure, im mittleren Gaumen mit einem kleinen Durchhänger, im Finale jedoch mit sehr guter Länge und Retroaromen, die an Sauerkirschen erinnern. 2025-2037 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Calon Ségur) vvWine.ch

Flowers, spicy red berries and savory underbrush notes open the wine. Medium-bodied, soft, vibrant and crisp, with hints of spice and olives to accompany the red currants in the finish, this will drink well young. The wine is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, 12.8% ABV. Drink from 2024-2038. 89-91

En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): Shown at Calon Segur Slightly jammy red berry fruit, raspberry and strawberry initially with a little cream and caramel, smells lightweight. Juicy, more savoury on the palate, fruit muted, tannins chalky slight alcohol warmth on the finish. Nose nicer than the palate.

Ripe on the nose but not on the palate. Lots of black currant and power to it. With some concentration
