From the hugely sought after Château Calon-Ségur property. This, the second wine, is a brilliant purchase, certainly one to stock up on. Will drink well through to 2040.

Calon-Ségur's 74-hectare vineyard, which is partly enclosed by a wall, is located just to the north of the village of St-Estèphe. The vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 20%, Cabernet Franc 15%) lie on up to 5 metre deep gravel beds mixed with sand and, in parts, limestone and clay.

A chewy, structured red with blackberry, chocolate and some walnut and bark. It’s full-bodied and solid with lots of fruit and tannins -James Suckling

Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Merlot (43%) blend Calon-Ségur draws its indulgent and generous flavours from the beautiful Saint-Estèphe terroir. Elegant and full flavoured with blackberry, chocolate and noble aromas of cedar and sweet spice. Can be cellared up untill 2040.” 

ABV: 14.5%
