Château Calon-Segur er den nordligst beliggende ejendom af alle Médocs Grand Crus Classé slotte. Vinen har et let genkendeligt ydre, idet der er et stort rødt hjerte på etiketten. Dette skyldes den tidligeres ejers, Marquis de Segurs forkærlighed for netop dette slot, til trods for at han samtidig ejede både Château Lafite og Château Latour. Han sagde altid; ” Mit hjerte tilhører Calon".
Det er ikke længere Marquis de Segurs der ejer slottet, ej hellere familien efter ham. I de sidste århundrede har slottet været ejet af Gasqueton familien.
Calon-Segurs 58 hektar vinmarker, der delvist er omgivet af en mur, ligger lige nord for landsbyen St-Estèphe. Markerne er beplantet med 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot 20% og 15% Cabernet Franc. Undergrunden består primært af en blanding af grus og sand, men i enkelte parceller findes kalksten og ler.
I gode årgange producerer Château Calon-Segur koncentrerede og kødfulde vine med både dybde og længde.

A fruity wine that’s approachable but still serious and complex, with cocoa, currants, paprika and berries. Medium- to full-bodied. The tannins are taut, chalky, caressing and superbly knit with the fruit. Really juicy and long, and there aren't any hard edges. 82% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot, 8% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.
As to the Grand Vin, the 2024 Château Calon Ségur checks in as 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot, hitting 13.1% alcohol and a pH of 3.6, all resting in 100% new oak. It brings more richness and depth, with beautiful cassis fruit intermixed with spring flowers, violets, lead pencil, and a terrific sense of minerality. Medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and reasonably concentrated, it's all about finesse, elegance, and balance. It's a brilliant wine in the vintage.
The 2024 Calon Ségur is shaping up very nicely. Dark and ample, with terrific balance, the 2024 is another strong wine from the team led by Technical Director Vincent Millet. Readers will find a Calon Ségur of inner strength, its deceptively mid-weight structure notwithstanding. The 2024 is a wine of restraint and class more than power, never a bad thing at this property. The 100% new oak is very nicely balanced, even in the early going. This has great potential.
