Tasting note
Château Calon Ségur's 2017 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur should show Merlot's ripe plum, black cherry and violet, with a subtle herbal scent. Saint-Estèphe gives the wine an expectedly firm outline, supple fruit framed by moderate tannins and fresh acidity. The peak period ends in 2026, though the drinking range continues through 2031. Its finish should be savory and gently drying, carrying plum skin, spice and a soft earthy note.
