Château Calon-Ségur Le Saint-Estèphe de Calon-Ségur

An introduction to the world of Calon-Ségur: fruity, approachable, yet with the typical character of Saint-Estèphe — structured, spicy, with real depth.

Château Calon-Ségur is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc and is located in the northernmost part of Saint-Estèphe. The estate, which was already shaped by Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur in the 18th century, was acquired by the insurance group Suravenir in 2012 and has since undergone extensive modernization. Le Saint-Estèphe de Calon-Ségur —formerly known as La Chapelle de Calon , and bearing this name since 2019—is the estate's third wine and is made predominantly from the property's younger vines.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​color. The nose opens with blackberry and plum, along with bay leaf, violet, and a subtle hint of licorice. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a fresh acidity that keeps the finish lively. Not a heavyweight—but a wine with presence.
