James Suckling bewertete (03/2021) Château Calon Ségur 2018 wie folgt: „Aromas of redcurrants and plums with blueberries and black licorice, following through to a full body that’s so refined and polished, the tannins integrated wonderfully into the fruit. Fresh, linear and persistent. Real clarity and purity to this. Try after 2025.. “ – 97 Punkte

Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (01/2021) Château Calon Ségur 2018 wie folgt: „Exquisite purity of blackcurrants, raspberries and some citrus. The aromas flow from the glass. Full-bodied with seamless tannins that coat the palate and then fall into the center, to deliver a thoroughly refined and harmonious young red. Endless finish. 86% cabernet sauvignon. This is the new 1959, one of the legendary vintages of Mouton. Try after 2026. “ – 99 Punkte

Antonio Galloni bewertete (03/2021)  Château Mouton-Rotschild 2018 wie folgt: „The 2018 Mouton Rothschild is a rich, shockingly flamboyant wine endowed with tremendous fruit density and a level of unctuousness that could be taken for a wine still in barrel. Marvelously open and fleshy, the 2018 is utterly breathtaking today. I imagine it will shut down at some point, but today it is all seduction here. Ripe red cherry, plum, mocha, spice and cedar infuse the 2018 with tons of complexity. This is a tremendous showing“.  – 99 Punkte

Decanter bewertete (04/2019)  Château Calon Ségur 2018 wie folgt: „An impressive, concentrated and powerful Calon that will win many admirers without a doubt, but I would be a little hesitant if you’re a fan of the more classic balance found in the 2016. It has gorgeous chocolate and rich coffee notes, with complex exotic spices and even salted caramel on the finish, along with a lovely mouthwatering quality helped by a relatively low pH of 3.75 and a good yield of 41hl/ha. This will need long ageing, probably 20 months. I tasted it on several occasions and there are no arguments that it’s a stunning wine but I would probably favour the 2016 if looking to cellar something, because it’s more in character for what is one of my favourite properties in the appellation.“  – 96 Punkte
