"Château Calon Ségur" is a historic, 3ème Grand Cru Classé wine estate from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Bordeaux region. Recognizable by the famous heart on its label, this producer creates incredibly powerful yet elegant red wine. It is a perfect French classic for collectors and true wine connoisseurs.
Read moreIn the 18th century, the Marquis de Ségur (who also owned Lafite and Latour) uttered the famous phrase: "I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon." This is exactly why a heart symbol adorns the bottle labels. The vineyards stretch across a thick layer of gravel with clay underneath, which gives the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes a powerful structure, minerality, and exceptional longevity.
The Grand Vin of "Château Calon Ségur" is a classic example of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. It features notes of dark forest berries, blackcurrants, graphite, leather, and flowers. Over time, the firm tannins soften and turn into an incredibly velvety, complex texture.
A Bordeaux wine of such power and structure pairs perfectly with classic, hearty gastronomy. It wonderfully complements roasted beef tenderloin, venison stews with wild mushrooms, or lamb dishes. When enjoying it after dinner, we recommend pairing it with aged hard cheeses from our wine snacks selection.
Does this wine require decanting?
Yes, "Château Calon Ségur" wines are known for their firm tannins. Especially when opening a younger vintage bottle, it is recommended to decant it for 2–3 hours.
Is this Bordeaux wine a good gift for Valentine's Day, weddings, or anniversaries?
Without a doubt. Because of the heart symbol on the label and its undeniable Grand Cru Classé prestige, it is one of the most romantic and luxurious gift ideas to express love and respect.
