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.

Intense, perfumed aromas of graphite, blackberries, blueberries and stones follow through to a medium body with dried spices, tobacco, dried flowers and thyme. Typical on the palate as well. Structured and linear, with super length and tension. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 12% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Give this four or five years. Try after 2029.
The 2023 Calon Ségur is every bit as impressive as it was en primeur. Today, I find it a bit tight texturally, but that won't be an issue in time. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, dried herbs, licorice, menthol, gravel and chocolate are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon is very much front and center. The 2023 is a wine of reserve; I won't be surprised if it is even better in a few years.
Tobacco, underbrush, assorted spices, blackberries, wild herbs, and espresso form the enticing aromatic profile. Concentrated, long, dense, and intense, there is power, as well as lushness giving you a wine that is rich, balanced, well-defined, supple, creamy, and vibrant, with layers of fruit serving up a depth of flavor length and refinement. The refreshing waves of red with black fruits, sprig of mint, and touches of spice in the finish stay with you for close to 50 seconds in the up-beat finish. The wine blends 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2030-2060.
