Saint-Estèphe - Bordeaux - Red Wine
15/20
The second wine of Château Calon Ségur, Saint Estèphe 2nd Cru Classé, "Marquis de Calon" is the assembly of young vines and some parcels that do not enter the first wine.
The proportion of grape varieties is different from the first wine, the Merlots represent 75% of the blend, in a terroir known for its Cabernet Sauvignon.

The price of Marquis de Calon is really reasonable, especially compared to its neighbors, La Dame de Montrose and Pagodas de Cos.
