2020 Château Calon Ségur Saint Estèphe - Bordeaux Red G01

The name of Calon Ségur is deeply rooted in Bordeaux's history. The vineyard is planted in an ancient locality known as Calones, dating back to Roman times.

The commune of which it is a part has long since been called Saint Estèphe-de-Calon. In the 18th century the Marquis de Ségur, President of Bordeaux's parliament, added his name to Calon. Also owning Mouton, Lafite and Latour, he showed a preference for this property, which he received on the occasion of his marriage.

This 2020 vintage of Château Calon Ségur presents itself with great finesse, a beautiful balance between fruit and very elegant tannins. 

Blend: 57%  Cabernet Sauvignon, 34%  Merlot, 7%  Cabernet Franc, 2%  Petit Verdot

Visually, it displays an intense red color with violet highlights.

On the nose, red fruits such as raspberry emerge, followed by woody and vanilla notes.

On the palate, the attack is luscious and fruity, combined with a lovely length and plenty of freshness.

The finish is elegant with silky tannins that are still very present.
