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.

The flagship 2022 Château Calon Ségur checks in as 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It's a massive wine from this château that brings a fabulous nose of darker currants, smoked tobacco, chocolaty oak, graphite, and loamy earth. This full-bodied, deep, unctuous Saint-Estèphe has a round, layered mouthfeel, remarkably pure tannins, and flawless overall balance. It's going to take a decade to shed its baby fat, but this is legit sensational juice! Don’t miss it.
Stunning depth and minerality with fine spices, dark olives, ashtray and a hint of white pepper, paprika and iron. Powerful but also really fine, complex and classy, with full body and super-fine-grained tannins. Spot-on balance helps highlight depth and layers. Really long and restrained. Very complete. Already appealing but will improve in the next decade. Drink from 2027.
Slate and chalk textured tannins, skilful work over ageing to ensure a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. The intensity and concentration are seductive and you can expect plenty of black chocolate, espresso, cocoa bean, liquorice, crème de cassis, seriously enjoyable, clear ageing ability. 100% new oak in the cellars. 28hl/h yield, following hail. Harvest September 6 through to 27.
