Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“A silky and polished red with currant, walnut and black truffle character. Full body, silky tannins and a fine finish. It reminds me of the excellent 1995. Better in 2017.”
Located in the heart of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Château Calon Ségur is one of the historic estates of the Médoc. The village of Calon owes its name to a small boat once used to carry timber from one bank of the Gironde to the other. In the 18th century, the estate belonged to Nicolas Alexandre de Ségur, whose attachment to the property inspired the famous heart that now appears on the label. The production area covers 45 hectares within the Saint-Estèphe appellation, on thick gravel soils. The grape varieties are the four classic varieties of the Médoc: Cabernet Sauvignon (the majority), Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. On tasting, the wines of Calon Ségur stand out for their aromatic intensity and structure. The bouquet evokes notes of leather, black fruit and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is full and dense, supported by a tight tannic structure and fine depth, characteristic of the great Saint-Estèphe wines made for ageing.
