Vins Rouges
127 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur, St‑Estèphe (L)
“Mulled black currant and cherry fruit is inlaid with singed alder and bay leaf hints, along with a dried lilac accent. Light tugs of leather and warm earth through the finish give this an old-school edge. Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.” 91 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 273204 6 bottle limit

128 Château Marquis de Terme, Margaux “Lush in its fruit, with waves of dark currant and
blackberry reduction, this also shows form thanks to alder, tobacco and savory accents providing cut, while rose hip and dried violet notes add lift. Offers a long, smoldering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and
Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2040.” 94 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 364029
$120
129 Château Marsau,
Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux “This medium to full-bodied 2022 Marsau is an attractive wine produced from 100% Merlot. It has a delightfully pure bouquet of peony, violet, iris, menthol and cassis, followed by a crunchy and juicy yet fresh texture and then by a mineral-driven finish of remarkable purity, expressing elegant notes of licorice and pencil lead. Anne-Laurence and Mathieu Chadronnier have produced a red wine that punches above its weight. Bravo!” 92-94 pts, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate 372800 $60
