Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 09 Feb 23
The 2018 Calon Segur is deep garnet-purple in color. It has a powerful nose of crème de cassis, boysenberry preserves, and mocha, with an undercurrent of cedar, tar, and star anise. Full-bodied, rich and decadent it the mouth, it has a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy. Needs five more years, at least, but is shping up to be a real head-turner.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Mar 21
The 2018 Calon-Ségur has a classic Saint-Estèphe nose. Rather obdurate at first, it takes time to coalesce, revealing black fruit, charcoal and warm gravel scents, well defined but distant and not predisposed to charm the imbiber. In a funny way, I quite like that stubbornness. The palate is well balanced with firm tannins and fine acidity. Maybe this feels a little pinched compared to recent vintages; it does not possess the amplitude of the 2016 and 2017 and it is rather serious on the brine-infused finish. This is a fine and very typical Calon-Ségur, though it is not the most finessed in recent years.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2045
Saint-Estèphe Fine Wine

Saint-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the northern Médoc, is known for robust, full-bodied red wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. These wines are deeply coloured, with firm tannins and rich flavours of dark fruits, earth, and spice, making them structured and age-worthy. Top producers include Château Cos d'Estournel, Château Montrose, and Château Calon-Ségur. The region's gravelly and clay-rich soils contribute to the wines' distinctive character and complexity.
