Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The tentative blend for the 2017 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur is 57% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with bright, pretty red currants and black cherries with touches of cassis and Provence herbs plus a hint of pencil shavings. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and juicy with plenty of vibrant fruit and soft tannins, finishing savory.

The 2017 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is gorgeous. Silky, understated and wonderfully expressive, the 2017 is a wine of pure and total seduction. Bright red-toned fruit and lifted floral notes extend effortlessly into the finish. In 2017, the Merlots and Cabernet Franc struggled most with the cool, overcast weather of August, so most of that fruit went into the Marquis. The blend is 57% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The Marquis is a lovely second wine from Calon Ségur. Tasted three times.

The 2017 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is a bit understated relative to some recent vintages, but it is nevertheless very pretty. Floral overtones and cool red berry fruit give the 2017 its distinctive, lifted personality. It is a bit light in structure but it is otherwise very nicely done; I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years, while the flavors remain fresh.
