About this wine
Le C de Calon Ségur is the youngest cuvée of the famed Saint-Estèphe estate — the third wine after the grand vin Château Calon-Ségur and the second wine Le Marquis de Calon Ségur. The heart-on-the-label property dates to the 17th century and gave the appellation one of its most quoted lines, from the Marquis de Ségur: 'Je fais du vin à Lafite et à Latour, mais mon cœur est à Calon.' Le C is built on parcels of younger vines and lots that don't make it to the higher tiers, with a Merlot-led blend that gives an immediate, generous fruit profile in front of the typical Saint-Estèphe spine of Cabernet. The 2020 vintage was warm and concentrated, and Le C delivers a polished, fleshy read of the house style.
Tasting notes
Deep, glossy ruby. The nose offers ripe black cherry, blackcurrant and plum, with a savoury background of cedar, sweet tobacco and a hint of liquorice. The palate is round and supple, with fine, well-integrated tannins and a bright thread of acidity that keeps the wine fresh through to a long, lightly spiced finish. Saint-Estèphe in its friendliest register — ready to enjoy now.
