Description

On about fifty hectares located within the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Château Calon-Ségur has vines that rest on a gravel and clay soil. The manual harvest is vinified in stainless steel vats, on a parcel-by-parcel basis. The wine is aged between 18 and 20 months in barrels.

James Suckling : “Blackcurrant, blueberry, cedar, pine needle and black truffle here. I don’t think much about the nose with barrel samples, but this is splendid. It’s medium-bodied with very fresh acidity and fine, linear tannins that are long and lively. Energy here. Refined. Salty character at the last minute. I may like this better than 2022. A blend of 72% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 12% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.”
