Description

The refinement and balance of a Saint-Estèphe Third Wine

The estate

Calon was the name given to the boat used in the Middle Ages to transport wood from one bank of the Garonne to the other. And at the beginning of the 18th century, the Marquis de Ségur, who received the estate on the occasion of his marriage, added his name to it and thus the label of this 3rd grand cru classé of Saint-Estèphe was born.
Château Calon-Ségur remained in the Capbern-Gasqueton family throughout the 19th century, and until 2012, when the property was bought by Suravenir Assurances, which continues to produce Saint-Estephe wines with an inimitable style. Château Calon Ségur has also become famous for the label that decorates the estate's bottles. Since the 18th century, the heart has been the symbol of the estate and pays homage to the words of the Marquis de Ségur: "I make wine in Lafite and Latour but my heart is in Calon." For nearly three centuries, Château Calon Ségur enthusiasts have remained loyal to this iconic property on Bordeaux’s Left Bank.

The vineyard

An illustrious reference among the great wines of Saint-Estèphe, Château Calon Ségur looks after a vineyard of 50 hectares, 48 of which are in production. The vines are 22 years old on average and are planted on a thick layer of Garonne gravel dating back to the fourth millennium, with a thin layer of clay of lacustrine origin at the top.

The wine

Formerly called "La Chapelle de Calon" and then "Saint-Estèphe de Calon Ségur", C de Calon Ségur is the Third Wine of Château Calon Ségur. This wine is made exclusively from young Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines.

Winemaking and ageing

Harvested by hand, the grapes are first sorted on the vine and then in the cellar. Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel truncated cone vats. Vatting time of 18 to 21 days. Microoxygenation. Co-inoculation, yeast and exogenous bacteria in stainless steel tanks at 25°C. The wine is aged for approximately 14 months in three-wine barrels.

Blend

C de Calon Ségur 2020 is the result of a blend of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%).
