18 Rene Gabriel
Mittleres Granat-Rubin, leuchtend. Delikates, sehr feines Bouquet, zarter Zederntouch, reife Pflaumen, Kirschennoten, heller Kaffe, sanft laktisch und somit fein füllig. Im Gaumen zart, elegant mit sehr viel Finessen, die Gerbstoffe sind zart schmeichelnd, wunderschön ausgelegt, lang. Wirkt im Gegensatz zu anderen Kalibern in der gleichen Kasse vielleicht etwas leicht, was seine Attraktivität aber in keiner Weise schmälert. Irgendwie scheint es, dass dieses Weingut in schwierigen wie in grossen Jahren dieselbe, hohe Qualität erzeugt. (18/20). 14: Ein richtiger Bordeaux. Einerseits fein andererseits auch gewisse antiquarische, respektive erdige Noten. Oft ist das Primeurmuster immer blitzsauber und danach kommt ein leicht artisnaler Wein in die Flasche. trinken ( - 2028)

94 James Suckling
Tight and dense still but so integrated and seamless in texture. Aromas of chocolate, hazelnuts, dried spices and currants. Full body, superfine tannins and a texture that is so caressing and beautiful. Drink or hold.
93 Robert Parker
The 2005 is a beautiful Calon Ségur, with sweet mocha, black cherry, leathery fruit, medium to full body, attractive purity, a gorgeous texture, and serious nobility, gravitas and density. Drink it over the next 20-30 years, yet it is surprisingly accessible.
93 Wine Spectator
Has a beautiful nose of crushed berry, spices and nutmeg, with a hint of coffee. Then turns to licorice. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a long finish of vanilla, berry and cinnamon. Beautifully crafted. Best after 2014. 17,500 cases made. JS

Producer
Château Calon Ségur
Like many Bordeaux estates, Château Calon Ségur in Saint-Estèphe has shown significant developments in quality during the late 1990s. Their increased attention to detail during the viniculture processes have been successful in their production of more opulent, harmonious wines. Therefore, justifying their rank of Third Classified Growth as per the famous 1855 Classification. Historically in the Calon family since 1147, the property passed into the hands of Nicolas Alexandre de Ségur and generations later, Marquis de Ségur, the previous owner of the famous Bordeaux estates, Château Lafite and Château Latour. The illustrious Marquis, as the tale goes, said “I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.” Thus explaining the notorious heart shaped label found on each of the château’s bottles. The previous proprietors, the Gasqueton family, sold the property to Suravenir, a large French insurance company in 2012 - ending over a century of ownership. Today, it is no secret that this is one of the leading vineyards in the Bordeaux appellation, if not in the world. The 55-hectare property is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes, and produces their greatest wines, the Grand Vin of Calon Ségur which mirrors the terroir’s essence, as well as their velvety second wine, Le Marquis de Calon Ségur. With the change of ownership, Château Calon Ségur opens a new chapter in its history. The restructuring of the vineyard, and the construction of a new vat-house and ageing cellar will allow Calon Ségur to better express the secrets of its unique terroir.
