WEINWISSER: "58 % Merlot, 42 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.2 Vol.-%.,36 hl/ha. Verspieltes Bouquet, frischer Schattenmorellensaft, zartes Veilchenparfüm und rote Johannisbeerdrops. Am eleganten Gaumen mit weicher Textur, körnigem Extrakt, fein sandiger Adstringenz und mittlerem Körper. Im gebündelten Finale verschlankt sich der Asket und endet mit rotbeerigen Konturen, Graphit und edler Salznote."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The Merlot-heavy 2021 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is solid, with a pure, seamless, medium-bodied style as well as pretty red fruits, notes of flowers and sappy herbs, a touch of minerality on the palate, fine tannins, and a great finish. The blend is 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Offering up notions of blackcurrants, spices and cigar box, the 2021 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur is medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with powdery tannins and an impressively penetrating finish. It's a blend of 58% Merlot with 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter mainly from young vines. Director Vincent Millet explains that he doesn't want the gap in quality between his second wine and the grand vin to be too flagrant and that he'll take lots from the Calon-Ségur blend to improve the Marquis if necessary—as it was in 2021."

DECANTER: "Delicate, rose-tinted black fruits on the nose, really quite lifted and playful on the palate, the fruit jumping out the glass. Lovely delicacy, you get the richness and depth, but the flavours are also clearly defined with layers of fruit and acidity one upon another. It's fresh and juicy, vibrant and well extracted, full of red cherry, strawberry, raspberry and grapefruit elements that have an enjoyable and crisp bitterness to them. Nothing harsh, just pure fruit enjoyment. 3.60pH. 17 months ageing, 30% new oak."
