Omschrijving
Op het etiket van de eerste wijn, Calon Ségur, staat een groot hart dat verwijst naar de liefde van voormalig eigenaar Marquis de Ségur (tevens eigenaar van Lafite en Latour) naar zijn vrouw. Sinds de laatste eeuw is het Château in handen van de familie Gasqueton. De 74 ha wijngaarden liggen ten noorden van Saint-Estèphe en liggen op 5 meter diepe gravelbedden gemengd met zand, leisteen en klei. De wijnen zijn vlezig en geconcentreerd met veel diepte, fruit en een enorme lengte! Het terroir heeft zeer veel potentieel, echt het mooiste van Saint-Estèphe!

Robert Parker
The 2020 Calon-Ségur is a brilliant wine from an estate in the ascendant. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, red berries, fresh mint, pencil shavings, violets and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, powdery structuring tannins and a long, perfumed finish. Integrated and harmonious, this pure, concentrated and dynamic wine is one of the finest vintages that Vincent Millet and his team have produced to date.

The 2020 Calon Ségur is a powerhouse. A blast of dark cherry fruit, menthol, tar, licorice and gravel infuse the 2020 with remarkable depth. Sumptuous and full-bodied, the 2020 shows all the richness and textural depth of the year. The tannins are imposing, but there's a good deal of fruit too. This is an especially opulent Grand Vin, in line with vintages like 2018 stylistically, but with 1% less alcohol. Tasted two times.

James Suckling
Blueberries, blackberries, spearmint, currants and sweet spices on the nose. Mocha and walnuts, too. Lots of flavor here, with a medium to full body and muscular yet velvety tannins that melt seamlessly into the wine. Long, polished and delicious already. Keeps going. Better from 2025.

Decanter
Very deep perfumed nose; the 1% Petit Verdot is quite potent and intense with ripe fruit aromas. Super-smooth and silky on the palate however, just so juicy and lovely with ample balance. A lovely energy and freshness comes across as both sharp and well defined – succulent but remaining intense and linear in terms of structure. The weight comes from plump, ripe fruit – the blackcurrant, black cherry and plum offset by a cooling minerality and wet stone, pencil lead minerality. It has richness for sure, the concentration is there, but also sleight of hand, so well executed and long. Really very impressive.
