I always loved this wine from the first time I tasted it in 1998. It has such purity and power yet it's reserved and beautiful. It's one of the best Calons ever. I drank a bottle with some friends in Manhattan last week and it was the wine of the evening. It was full-bodied with silky tannins and a focused and intense finish. Lots of currant and berry character and hints of dried spices. It's finally opening up and giving real pleasure now like so many 1995 Bordeaux at the moment.

Incredible nose of crushed berries, flowers, spices and nuts. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Powerful and solid. Builds on the palate. Give it time.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2009. –JS

96: Fassprobe (18/20): Ein phantastisches Bouquet voller Barbera-Süsse, Himbeeren, Amarenakirschen. Feiner Gaumen, die Gerbstoffe sind voller Schmelz und gut eingebunden, Süsse verleihendes Holz, ein homogener St. Estèphe und ein Calon-Ségur wie ich ihn in dieser Qualität noch nie erlebt habe. 01: Mittleres Granat-Rubin, zart violetter Schimmer. Würziges, zu Beginn schlankes, sehr Cabernet-betontes Bouquet, Veilchennoten, schwarzer Pfeffer, so richtige St. Estèphe-Rasse im Nasenbild. Klar ausgerichteter Gaumen mit einer bestechenden Vinifikation, wiederum eher schlank, dafür lang gezogener Körper mit gut eingepackten, süss ausstrahlenden, feinsandigen Tanninen, im Finale blaubeerig; Cassis und Brombeeren. Toller Wein für Liebhaber von ehrlichen, klassischen Weinen. 18/20 2005 – 2020

As I have said many times since I first tasted this wine, the 1995 Calon-Segur is one of the great sleepers of the vintage (I bought the wine as a future for a mere $250 a case). The wine has closed down completely since bottling, but it is a sensational effort that may ultimately merit an even higher score. The wine is opaque purple-colored. With coaxing, the tight aromatics reveal some weedy cassis intertwined with truffles, chocolate, and beef blood-like aromas. On the palate, there is an element of sur-maturite (1995 was an extremely late harvest at Calon-Segur), fabulous density and purity, and a boatload of tannin. This deep, broodingly backward, classic Bordeaux will require a decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035.

Produttore
Château Calon Ségur
Come molte tenute di Bordeaux, Château Calon Ségur a Saint-Estèphe ha evidenziato sviluppi importanti in termini di qualità alla fine degli anni '90. La maggiore attenzione ai dettagli durante i processi di vinificazione si è dimostrata un successo nella produzione di vini più opulenti e armoniosi, giustificando così lo status di Troisième Cru Classé secondo la famosa classificazione del 1855. Storicamente della famiglia Calon dal 1147, la proprietà passò nelle mani di Nicolas Alexandre de Ségur e, generazioni dopo, del marchese de Ségur, il precedente proprietario delle famose tenute di Bordeaux Château Lafite e Château Latour. Come narra la storia, l'illustre marchese disse: "Produco vino a Lafite e Latour, ma il mio cuore è a Calon", spiegando così la famosa etichetta a forma di cuore su ciascuna bottiglia dello Château. Nel 2012, dopo oltre un secolo, i proprietari precedenti, la famiglia Gasqueton, vendettero la proprietà a Suravenir, una grande compagnia assicurativa francese. Oggi è risaputo che si tratta di uno dei principali vigneti della denominazione Bordeaux, se non nel mondo. La proprietà di 55 ettari è piantata con uve Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc e Petit Verdot e produce un vino principale, il Grand Vin di Calon Ségur, che riflette l'essenza del terroir, e un secondo vino vellutato, Le Marquis de Calon Ségur. Con il cambio di proprietà, Château Calon Ségur apre un nuovo capitolo nella sua storia. La ristrutturazione del vigneto e la costruzione di una nuova tinaia e della cantina d'invecchiamento consentiranno a Calon Ségur di esprimere al meglio i segreti del suo terroir unico.
