Rocking blackcurrants, leafy tobacco, chocolate, and smoky nuances all emerge from the 2022 Le Marquis De Calon Ségur, one of the biggest, ripest, sexiest second wines in the vintage. It's full-bodied and has a round, opulent mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish. This might truly shock you with a decade of bottle age.

Lovely finesse with good depth of fruit. Tobacco, paprika, roasted spices and sweet berries. Fine-grained and dusty tannins unwind nicely on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Drink from 2027.

This second wine has a black fruit aroma, rich tannins and layers of black plum fruits and acidity. The wine, well balanced, is likely to be ready from 2028.

Deep berry fruits, but this has been skilfully handled over ageing, fresh mint leaf notes that add a streak of freshness, good stuff, with plenty of slate texture. 28hl/h yield, following hail, 60% new oak for ageing. Harvest September 6 through to 27.
