Le Marquis de Calon Segur St Estephe 2021 (750ml) - 2nd wine of Ch. Calon Segur (3th GCC)

Country/ Region:
Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, France

Background:
The Château Calon Ségur vineyard covers an area of 50 hectares, of which 48 hectares are used for production. The vines, 20 years old on average, are planted in a thick layer of Garonne gravel dating from the Quaternary period, with a fine level of lacustrine clay on the top. These vines give rise to fine Saint-Estèphe wines.

Winemaking:
Temperature-controlled conical stainless-steel tanks. Maceration for 18 to 21 days. Fining with egg white.

Grapes: Merlot (58%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (42%)

Tasting note:
Deliciously easy-drinking, silky and expressive, its charm comes to the fore, while at the same time bringing to our minds the elegance of the Grand Vin.

Food Pairing:
it pairs beautifully with dishes that offer savory depth without overwhelming fat. For example, grilled New York strip, herb-crusted roasted lamb chops or slow-roasted pork tenderloin.
