Chateau Calon Segur 2006
Chateau Calon Segur is located in the Saint Estephe appellation within the Medoc region of Bordeaux, France. As one of the oldest estates in the area, its history dates back to 1147 and it was famously owned in the 18th century by the Marquis de Segur, who also held the prestigious first growths Lafite and Latour. The winery's philosophy is rooted in a deep affection for this specific terroir, a sentiment immortalized by the Marquis's claim that his heart belonged to Calon, which is why a heart remains the central emblem on every label.
Wine Description
Chateau Calon Segur presents a deep ruby to crimson colour. On the nose, it offers an elegant and classic profile featuring aromas of cassis, black cherry, and forest floor, complemented by nuances of iron, woodsmoke, and violets. The palate is medium to full bodied, revealing a core of dark fruit, blackberry, and licorice, supported by a firm, chewy tannic structure that provides significant depth and focus. Stylistically, the wine is known for its balance and 'old style' charm, concluding with a long, fresh finish marked by notes of cedar and graphite.
