Robert Parker
"Here, we don't sacrifice to fashion. This wine has retained the classicism of Bordeaux, which it expresses through a fine balance. Firstly, in the bouquet, with its successful combination of red fruit and toast; then on the palate, with its good fullness and silky tannins. Don't hesitate to wait a few years". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010). A very fine Saint-Estèphe, now ready to drink!

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated wine (2009 guide) 85/100 (Good wine)
About the wine:
Second wines from Calon Segur are rare, but the inimitable Mme Gasqueton offered me Le Capbern Gasqueton 2006 for tasting during my visit to this magnificent château. A pleasant, smooth bistro-style red that can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years. It's a good choice for restaurants looking for a Saint-Estèphe with redcurrant and earthy nuances, but without the tannins that often characterize this appellation.
