Le Marquis de Calon Segur Saint Estephe
Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is the second wine of the renowned Château Calon-Ségur — and bears the characteristic signature of the Saint-Estèphe appellation: structured, dark and with real aging potential.
Calon-Ségur is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc and lies in the northernmost part of the Haut-Médoc appellations. The second wine is made from younger vines and unselected portions of the Grand Cru — vinified with the same high standards and aged for 17 months in barriques.
In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red. The nose offers blackberry and blackcurrant, along with notes of tobacco, licorice, and a hint of cedar from barrel aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied with velvety tannins and a supportive structure typical of Saint-Estèphe. The finish is long and spicy.
Serving suggestion: Ready to drink now, but will keep for another 4–6 years. Best served at 17–18 °C — with herb-crusted rack of lamb, beef fillet, or a robust Comté cheese.
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.
