The Marquis de Calon Ségur 2018 is aged for 17 months in oak barrels (30% new wood).
Vintage 2018 is the expression of a red grand vin from Saint-Estèphe and one of the top vintages after 2016.

Tasting notes: Deep purple-black in color, it gives up opulent scents of Indian spices, menthol and plum preserves with a core of crème de cassis, baked cherries and raspberry pie plus a hint of sandalwood. Big, rich, full-bodied and voluptuously fruited in the mouth, it has bags of black fruit preserves and exotic spices with a firm, plush frame, finishing long with a minty lift. Definitely one for the hedonists! Limited stock.
