Marquis de Calon (Calon-Segur), Saint-Estephe, 2023
The second wine of the estate where the legendary Marquis de Ségur—who also owned Lafite and Latour—declared "my heart is in Calon." That romantic history now comes with serious investment: Jean-François Moueix of Petrus joined as partial owner in 2012, and winemaker Vincent Millet has elevated quality dramatically. The 2023 Marquis features 50% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon from those finest Merlot plots that didn't match Calon's best Cabernet lots this vintage. Cassis, spicy red fruit, leather, dried flowers in a velvety, fruit-loaded style. 92 points barrel score. Grand vin character at second wine pricing.
