Château Calon Ségur 2021

Château Calon Ségur is a historic estate in the northern Médoc and ranks among the leading names of Saint-Estèphe. Its walled, contiguous vineyard lies on deep gravel ridges over clay and limestone – ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, which dominates the blend and is complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Under the leadership of the current owners, the vineyard has been mapped into highly precise parcels and the cellar technology modernised, without losing the classic style: careful hand harvesting, gentle vinification and restrained ageing in French oak.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
