Château Calon Ségur: Saint-Estèphe's Iconic Third Growth

As a Third Growth (Troisième Cru Classé) from the celebrated 1855 Classification, Château Calon Ségur stands as the northernmost jewel of Saint-Estèphe. The unique terroir-deep Médoc gravel atop a sturdy clay subsoil-imparts a distinct minerality and a powerful, age-worthy structure to the Cabernet-dominant blend. The endearing heart on the label is a nod to the Marquis de Ségur's famous quote: 'I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.'

Tasting Notes & Ageing Potential

• Nose: Elegant and deep, revealing classic notes of black fruit, pencil lead, damp earth, and seasoned oak.
• Palate: Structured and concentrated, exhibiting a powerful grip of fine-grained tannins that resolve into a lengthy, fresh, and saline finish. A true claret of immense depth.
• Maturity: Known for its exceptional ability to age, this wine is a cornerstone of any fine wine collection, often improving for decades.

Serving Suggestions & The Perfect Match

To fully appreciate its complexity, serve this wine at 16-18°C. Decanting is highly recommended for younger bottles.

• Food Pairings: Traditional Sunday Roast Beef with all the trimmings, Game Pie (Venison or Partridge), Mature English Cheddar or Stilton.
