A generous yet refined second wine from Chateau Calon-Segur, this 2021 Le Marquis opens with lifted floral and dark-fruit aromatics — violet, blackberry and a hint of plum skin — followed by a touch of tobacco and spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and immediately approachable: silky, warm and velvety with fine, well-integrated tannins and bright, refreshing acidity that carries red- and black-fruit flavours through a balanced finish. Producer notes stress a distinct identity for the second wine, crafted from selected parcels and aimed at early enjoyment. Vineyards sit on a thick Quaternary gravel layer above clay-rich tertiary subsoils, with a fine lacustrine clay at the gravel summit, contributing to structure and freshness. Hand-harvested, grapes receive a first selection in the vineyard before mechanical vibration sorting and additional hand sorting at the winery. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel conical tanks with maceration of 18–21 days; the wine is fined with egg white and aged about 17 months in French oak. Drink now with a short decant or cellar gently into the decade for added complexity.
