19 Rene Gabriel
90 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 % Merlot, 3 % Petit Verdot. Mit 53 hl/ha eine grosse Ernte. Noch nie so viel Cabernet in der Geschichte von Calon-Ségur. Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Das Bouquet ist deutlich geprägt von tiefem, floralem Cabernet, Trüffelspuren und Rauchnuancen, Baumnüsse und Ansatz von Kräutern. Fleischiger Gaumen mit dicht gegliederter Textur, viel Tiefe darin zeigend und eine gut stützende, verlangende Adstringenz, extrem lange. Ein massiv beladener und dennoch feiner Calon der mit einem eindrücklichen Alterungspotential ausgestattet ist. Eine Art 61er-Variante. warten (2018 - 2040)

The 2009 Calon-Ségur is deep garnet in color and opens with a beautiful fragrance of redcurrant preserves, cassis, black cherry compote and red roses plus nuances of cigar box and cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied and wonderfully elegant in the mouth, it has a compelling line of very ripe, fine-grained tannins and oodles of freshness supporting the fragrant layers, finishing long and perfumed.
96 Wine Spectator
Delivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice, with hints of tobacco and spice. Full-bodied, offering a lovely texture and refinement. Very long and beautiful, with tangy acidity and lively fruit. A rich, yet very balanced, Calon. This is almost all Cabernet Sauvignon instead of the normal blend with 40 percent Merlot. The ch?teau is now using 100 percent new wood. Like the changes. Score range: 93-96 -JS"

With a lot of fennel and earth character this is a classic St.-Estèphe, but on the palate it has a suppleness that's modern in the best sense. Needs time to soften. Drink or hold.
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.
