Calon-Ségur 2006 - Saint-Estephe

Château Calon Ségur 2006 - 3rd classified growth of Saint-Estèphe

Château Calon-Ségur has one of the most beautiful histories among the Bordeaux Châteaux. It was in fact the favorite of the Marquis de Ségur who, although he owned other small but pleasant estates such as Mouton, Lafite and Latour (no less), preferred Calon. Hence the very famous phrase "I make my wine in Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.

Despite very heterogeneous weather and ripening conditions for the Bordeaux vineyard, the 2006 vintage is very successful in Medoc. This Calon evolves in a very...Saint-Estèphe style. Powerful, concentrated and dry, it offers notes and aromas of earth, undergrowth, spices and very ripe black fruits. A serious wine that can be tasted today after a few hours of opening or in a decade or two, depending on your tastes.
