James Suckling Notes
93-94 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "This is spicy and juicy with blackberry, bark and some spices. Full and chewy. Flavorful finish. Some lead pencil and iodine. Second wine of Calon." 06/21

Decanter Notes
93 Points, Jane Anson, Decanter: "Another strong wine in the Calon-Ségur stable this year, showing depth and clarity of flavour. No getting around the concentration in the tannins, well balanced by brambled berry fruits and the St-Estèphe feeling of confident power. After an extremely dry July, here they saw 45mm of rain in three days in August, followed by another stretch of no rain from 15 August to 21st September. Helps explain the low 33hl/ha yields. 30% new barrels. 3.7pH." 04/21

92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: "The northern Medoc did beautifully in this vintage. And the second wine from Château Calon Segur, the 2020 Le Marquis De Calon Ségur, looks to be terrific. Offering a great nose of damp earth, violets, cassis, and more blue-tinged fruits, it’s medium to full-bodied and has a ripe, polished, seamless texture, notable tannins, and a great finish. It’s everything you would want from a second wine and is ideal for drinking over the coming 10-15 years." 05/21
