Château Calon-Ségur
Château Calon-Ségur literally wears its heart on its label – and has done so for centuries. The iconic heart adorning the bottle of this Grand Cru from Saint-Estèphe is not a marketing ploy, but a genuine declaration: The Marquis de Ségur is said to have once remarked that although he made wine in Lafite and Latour, his heart belonged to Calon.
This is still evident today. The wines of this exceptional Bordeaux estate combine power and elegance in a way that is unparalleled among the Médoc classifications – deeply fruity, complex, and with a longevity that rewards patience.

Château Calon-Ségur –
the heart of Saint-Estèphe
Château Calon-Ségur lies in the northernmost corner of the Médoc, in the Saint-Estèphe appellation – and literally wears its credentials on its label. The heart adorning every bottle dates back to the Marquis de Ségur, who owned both Lafite and Latour in the 18th century, but declared that his heart belonged solely to Calon. Not a marketing ploy, but a sentiment that continues to define the estate to this day.
The Château is one of the oldest wine estates in the Médoc – records date back to the 12th century. As a 3ème Grand Cru Classé since 1855, Calon-Ségur cultivates around 55 hectares on soils of gravel, sand, and clay, which give the wine its characteristic structure: dense, dark fruit, fine tannins, and a depth that can withstand decades in the cellar.
Since the acquisition by the Suravenir Group in 2012, consistent investments have been made in both the vineyard and the cellar. The wines now exhibit greater precision than before, without sacrificing the classic Saint-Estèphe character – serious, ageless, and with each vintage, a compelling argument for patience.
