Château Calon-Ségur is one of the stars of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, with a heritage dating back to 1147. This release is the 2008 vintage of its grand vin, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, produced in a classic style. The wine is in a fantastic place right now, showing beautiful fruit on the nose and palate, complemented by well-integrated tannins.
The 2008 Calon-Ségur has a perfumed, floral bouquet that is wonderfully detailed; raspberry and cranberry fruit flanked by rose petal and subtle iris aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a crisp line of acidity. This is brisk and focused with a light black pepper note cropping up on the finish, the aftertaste judiciously sprinkled with pencil shaving and tobacco notes. This is a very fine Calon-Ségur from the Gasqueton era, but it needs more time. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 10-Year On tasting. - Neil Martin

Chateau Calon Segur

Château Calon-Ségur is the most northerly of the Médoc Grand-Crus Classés and is renowned for wines with excellent depth of fruit and great longevity. One of the stars of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Calon-Ségur was categorised as a third growth in the famous 1855 classification of Bordeaux châteaux.

The estate’s key varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, which are used to make superb, consistently excellent Bordeaux that rewards long-term ageing.
