Château CALON SÉGUR
3ème grand cru classé
- 2021
- Saint-estèphe
The acquisition of Calon-Ségur in 2012 by a subsidiary of Crédit Mutuel (a French bank) heralds the great awakening of this famous terroir of gravel on limestone, in one piece and entirely surrounded by a wall (a unique fact in the Médoc). All of Bordeaux wants Calon-Ségur to be as fabulous as those of the middle of the last century after a 15-year investment plan.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 95/100 “The wine is more closed than its neighbors, with fruit that appears ripe and rich. The nose is tight, intense, with notes of black fruit. At this stage, the palate is also very compact and the finish strict. But we're confident, because the texture is beautiful and it will harmonize.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 97/100 and #39 of the Top 100 wines of the year 2024 “A Saint-Estèphe of stature and vertical intensity, the 2021 Calon Ségur dazzles from the very first taste. Spice, menthol, licorice, black cherry, mint and espresso are some of the many notes that build with a bit of coaxing. The 2021 clocks in at a modest 12.9% in alcohol, yet it possesses tremendous density and textural resonance. What a wine! ”

The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 94/100 “The 2014 Calon Ségur has a fresh, vibrant nose, a little backward and moody, but there's concentration here, just coiled up nicely at the moment. There are touches of iodine and sea spray present. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, juicy tannins, quite dense and fleshy, but there's huge weight and backbone at the back that I think will mature it in style.”
