2017 Marquis de Calon

The Calon-Ségur 2017 has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and shows warm plums, cassis, baked cherries and mulberries, earth, meat and cedar wood with notes of lavender and olives on the nose. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, elegant and intense with firm, fine-grained tannins and great length, finishing on a mineral note. This wine was aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The blend consists of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
