Note: 95-97+/100 | Classement: 3e Cru Classé

The 2020 Calon-Ségur is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. It is aging in 100% new French oak barrels for an anticipated 18 to 20 months. The alcohol is 13.8%. Displaying a deep purple-black color, it straight away springs up with bright scents of freshly picked black raspberries, kirsch and blackberries, needing considerable swirling to reveal a vast array of nuances-rose oil, cardamom, iron ore, graphite, lavender and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate has a solid structure of firm, ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the tightly wound red and black fruit layers, accented by lots of mineral and floral sparks, finishing with impressive length and depth. Beautiful, beautiful wine! - Wine Advocate. Guide Vert RVF : 96/100

Viticulture

Château Calon-Ségur, located at the time in the commune of Saint-Estèphe de Calon, was owned by the d'Albret family, Jean de Lur, Pierre de Marsan and finally Monsieur de Gasq. The property was named Calon after a small boat used in the Middle Ages to transport wood from one bank of the Gironde to the other. The soil is hilly and gravelly. The average age of the vineyard is 40 years.
