Château Calon-Ségur
Château Calon-Ségur is a 94-hectare wine estate located at Saint-Estèphe, near Bordeaux. It is ranked third grand cru in the 1855 Bordeaux wine classification, in the Saint-Estèphe appellation.

With a rich, centuries-old history, Château Calon-Ségur is today run by the heirs of Denise Capbern-Gasqueton, who brilliantly succeeded her husband Philippe in 1995 until his recent death in 2011. The vineyard is located on gravelly, hilly terrain. Château Calon-Ségur is planted with 65% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, with vines averaging 40 years in age.

Château Calon-Ségur is aged in the traditional way, for an average of 24 months in oak barrels, some of which are new. Château Calon-Ségur is generally considered one of the most powerful, full-bodied Saint-Estèphe wines in the Bordeaux appellation.

Le C de Calon Ségur Saint-Estèphe 2020 - 3ème vin

merlot
delicious
black fruits
good acidity

"A perfect introduction to this prestigious appellation and estate!

C de Calon Ségur was known as "Saint-Estèphe de Calon Ségur" until the 2018 vintage. Essentially made from young Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, this third wine benefits from the equipment and know-how of its elder brother's team. C as in the third letter of the alphabet, for the estate's third wine. C as in Cœur, the symbol of the Marquis de Ségur's love for the estate and the distinctive sign of our bottles. C for Calon, quite simply.

"One of the stars of the vintage: dizzying intensity, exemplary precision and velvety texture!

"Blueberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, a beautiful floral nose, iris, spicy, menthol slightly eucalyptus. What a bouquet of aromatic complexity and freshness. Straightforward on the palate, very nice caressing touch, chiseled, fresh tannins. Crystalline texture. A very Cabernet Calon Ségur with remarkable overall precision. Bravo!"

"Critically acclaimed!"

"The nose is very deep and fragrant; the 1% Petit Verdot is quite powerful and intense with ripe fruit aromas. The palate, however, is very soft and silky, so juicy and charming, with great balance. Great energy and freshness emanate from this lively, well-defined wine - succulent, yet intense and linear in structure. The weight comes from plump, ripe fruit - blackcurrant, black cherry and plum - counterbalanced by refreshing minerality and a wet stone, pencil lead minerality. The richness is there, the concentration is there, but there's also a prestidigitation on the finish, so well executed and so long. Very impressive indeed. (Decanter 2023)

"A great success!

"The 2018 Marquis de Calon Ségur is breathtakingly beautiful. Bright, powerful and punchy, this 2018 has so much to offer. Expressive floral notes and savory, spicy Cabernet aromas add nuance to a core of dark red fruits and purplish berries. Beautifully textured and inviting, this Marquis is truly dazzling in 2018."

"In the second wine, the proportion of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon is reversed, as is often the case. The former, which generally ripens earlier, takes precedence over the latter. Without having the power of its elder, this wine is very pleasant, with an elegant fruity and woody bouquet and a lovely weave of melted tannins". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018) Superb!
