Château Calon-Ségur
Château Calon-Ségur, the most northerly of all the Médoc Grand-Crus
Classés, is the château with a heart on its label. That is because the former
owner, Marquis de Ségur, though he owned such Estates as Lafite and Latour, he
declared ";My heart belongs to Calon";. For the last century it has
been owned by the Gasqueton family.
Calon-Ségur's 74-hectare vineyard, which is partly enclosed by a wall, is located just to the north of the village of St-Estèphe. The vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 20%, Cabernet Franc 15%) lie on up to 5 metre deep gravel beds mixed with sand and, in parts, limestone and clay.
The wines are fermented for 3 weeks in enamel-lined steel vats and are then matured in oak barriques (40% new) for 18 months. Recently, Calon-Ségur has hit form with notable successes in 1995 and 1996 and 2000. At its best, Calon-Ségur produces meaty and concentrated wines displaying excellent depth of fruit and superb length. It is classified as a 3ème Cru Classé.

Calon very much reflects the vintage in 2006. Rather than trying to make something big and brawny, this is full of finesse and class, and that inimitable austere St Estèphe style. Made with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon it is a wine for the long term. Its aromas are all dark fruit and raspberries ...

The ever-gracious Madame Gasqueton greeted us warmly at 8.30am as her first tasters of the week. As always, Calon served as an excellent benchmark, and a tough act to follow, for the rest of the 2001s that we went on to taste. This has a fabulous nose of warm, exotic herbs and spices followed by a ... MORE Drink 2009-2015 . Jancis Score: 16/20 Parker Score: 89/100 | ||||
