Château Calon-Ségur
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Estèphe, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
More powerful than the 2015 Calon, but doesn’t lose elegance or length
more tannin, deeper color, more earthiness, greater emphasis on violet and blackberry, earthy minerality. Firm structure. Lovely spice emergent with time

The 2014 Calon Ségur is a real show-stopper. Unusually ripe, powerful and seductive, the wine exudes class. Myriad shades of plum, sweet red cherry, pomegranate, spice and blood orange are all on display. Wild flowers, tobacco and host of more aromatic notes develop in the glass. Above all else, though, the 2014 is a wine of pure power and breadth. This is yet another fabulous showing for the 2014 Calon Ségur, a wine that vies for top honors in this vintage. Don't miss it. The blend is 67 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 19 % Merlot, 15 % Cabernet Franc and 2 % Petit Verdot. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2017)
