Chateau Calon Segur - Marquis de Calon 2024

James Suckling: "This is a very refined, juicy wine that almost feels complete, with aromas of red and black berries and touches of incense and graphite. Firm tannins show nice tension, with more fruit on the medium-bodied palate. Quite juicy and long at the end. 63% merlot and 37% cabernet sauvignon."

Weinwisser: "filigraner Duft, zartes Irisparfüm, rotes Cassis und Preiselbeermus. Am kompakten Gaumen mit fleischigem, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, balancierter Rasse und mittlerem Körper. Im gebündelten, feinaromatischen Finale Hagebutte, Grafit und mehlige Adstringenz."

Jane Anson: "Clearly skilful construction of the wines here, with precision and balance. Austerity on the finish, as is classic in Cabernet-dominant wines in 2024, with emphasis on cassis bud and slate, very pretty. 3.55 pH. 45hl/ha yield, 20% new oak. Harvest 23 September to 9 October. Vincent Millet director."

Vinum: "Leuchtendes Rubinrot; im Duft mit reifer Johannisbeerfrucht, angekohltes Holz, Pflaumen, Fenchel; seidig am Gaumen, finessenreich, ausbalanciert, nicht zu stark konzentriert, zeigt Finesse und Präzision; hallt angenehm lange nach, endet pfeffrig-würzig und sehr frisch."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Espresso, flowers, plums, and black raspberries form the core of this medium-bodied, open, fruity, cherry-tinted wine that is going to be good to go shortly after release. The wine is a blend of 63% Merlot, with 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.2% ABV, 3.55 pH. Drink from 2027-2040."
