It is anticipated to age for 20 months in barriques, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs just a little coaxing before it reveals seductive notes of baked cherries, warm cassis, licorice and smoked meats with nuances of hoisin, camphor, Chinese five spice and dried roses with a waft of cardamom. Full-bodied and completely packed with concentrated black fruit and spice layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and a wicked backbone of freshness giving an energetic lift to the very long finish.

You had to be soft, so as not to extract too much. The alcohol percentage of the Merlot was concerning—some came in at 16% potential alcohol! And the Cabernet Franc this year was amazing on this terroir.” Merlot was picked from September 19 to 25. The Cabernets came in September 26 to October 5. Petit Verdot came in on October 8th.

The palate is medium-bodied with dense, firm tannin that provide a rigid backbone, but it is swathed in copious tobacco-drenched black fruit and a superb line of acidity. It finishes with a twist of bitter cherry on the finish that completes what is a deeply impressive Calon-Segur; it might just outclass the 2005.

He's also cleaned up and modernized the winery. The 2019 Calon-Ségur shows the impact of some of those changes already, offering up a rich bouquet of crème de cassis, licorice, warm spices and subtle hints of cigar box, followed by a full-bodied, broad and fleshy palate that's deep and concentrated, with lively acids and beautifully refined tannins. All this is very impressive, but the fly in the ointment is an alcohol level that flirts with 15% and makes itself felt on the warm, liqueured finish. Balance isn't a matter of mere numbers, of course, but despite its admirable qualities and the serious work behind it, I do have reservations about this wine's ultimate equilibrium. Time will tell. The good news is that Millet is actively exploring viticultural strategies to mitigate high alcohol levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCalon-Ségur is in the midst of a renaissance. A true \"Clos,\" this walled 55-hectare vineyard, the first to be cultivated in Saint-Estèphe, was long planted at a low density of 6,000 vines per hectare. When the cahier des charges (appellation rules) for Saint-Estèphe changed in the recent past, mandating a higher minimum density, the Gasqueton family had already begun replanting at 8,000 vines per hectare. Now estate director Vincent Millet is replanting at 10,000 vines per hectare, and each individual vine has been geo-referenced so that treatments and amendments can be adapted on a vine-by-vine basis within each parcel: the latest in high-tech precision viticulture! The varietal breakdown is changing too, with Cabernet Sauvignon on the increase, currently amounting to around 60% of the estate's holdings and with a target of around 75%. In addition to clones, a massal selection, from parcels near the small chapel just to the east of the château, is underway. Winemaking, too, has been revolutionized: in an entirely new cellar and winery, the grapes are rapidly chilled by passage through a cold tunnel and undergo a three-day cold soak, before a co-innoculated 18- to 21-day maceration with micro-oxygenation. Maturation follows, in new barrels, for 20 months with a traditional racking every three. If all this sounds very detail-oriented, it's because Millet, who boasts a PhD in wine microbiology and spent several years at Château Margaux, is an extremely serious, forward-thinking estate director, and I have no doubt that he is going to unleash all of Calon-Ségur's latent potential. My only reservations, recorded in the accompanying tasting notes, are with the lofty alcohol levels that these 2019s exhibit. But there's no doubting the seriousness of the work going on at this address, or the inevitability of its successful realization.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJancis Robinson | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJR 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Feb 1, 2023\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2029-2044\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasted blind.

It is rare, authentic and stirs the soul. In the most natural way, it reveals both great delicacy and outstanding intensity. All the magic of Calon is in this balance. The wine is aged in new oak barrels for 20 months, the tannins of the oak integrating harmoniously over time with the tannins of the grapes. The style is brought by a Cabernet Sauvignon which expresses its finesse without arrogance. Elegance is to be found everywhere, in the purity of the wine’s flavours, in the delicacy of its texture, while its depth and length are also superb. The wine’s extraordinary ability to age many years in bottle is another feature of the estate. The 1947, 1953 and 1982 vintages, by way of example, still display astonishing signs of youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2019\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOak:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVarietals:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVineyard Area:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 55 ha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage Vine Age:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 22 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 8,000 vines\/ha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraining:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Double Guyot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hand-picked with initial selection on the vine, followed by mechanical and hand sorting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVinification:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks with extended maceration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConsulting Oenologist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Éric Boissenot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassification:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 3rd Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 16–18°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDecanting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1–2 hours\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Roast beef, lamb, venison, duck, beef Wellington, grilled steak, mushrooms, truffle dishes and mature hard cheeses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40774758432832,"sku":"RDFR20190140","price":245.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/chateau-calon-segur-saint-estephe-grand-cru-750ml-new-label.jpg?v=1776750141"},{"product_id":"le-marquis-de-calon-segur-st-estephe-2018-750ml","title":"Le Marquis De Calon Segur St-Estephe 2018 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLe Marquis de Calon Ségur 2018 – A plush and seductive Saint-Estèphe that combines opulence with finesse.

It is rare, authentic and stirs the soul. In the most natural way, it reveals both great delicacy and outstanding intensity. All the magic of Calon is in this balance. The wine is aged in new oak barrels for 20 months, the tannins of the oak integrating harmoniously over time with the tannins of the grapes. The style is brought by a Cabernet Sauvignon which expresses its finesse without arrogance. Elegance is to be found everywhere, in the purity of the wine’s flavours, in the delicacy of its texture, while its depth and length are also superb. The wine’s extraordinary ability to age many years in bottle is another feature of the estate. The 1947, 1953 and 1982 vintages, by way of example, still display astonishing signs of youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1–16 October 2012\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOak:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVarietals:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVineyard Area:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 55 ha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage Vine Age:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 22 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 8,000 vines\/ha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraining:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Double Guyot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hand-picked with initial selection on the vine, followed by mechanical and hand sorting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVinification:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks; approximately 18 days vatting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConsulting Oenologist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Éric Boissenot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3rd Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 16–18°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDecanting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 45–60 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Roast beef, lamb, venison, duck, beef Wellington, mushrooms, truffle dishes and mature hard cheeses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40908526059584,"sku":"RDFR20120134","price":255.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/products\/chateau-calon-segur-saint-estephe-750ml.jpg?v=1759320989"},{"product_id":"marquis-de-calon-saint-estephe-2011-750ml","title":"Marquis De Calon St-Estephe 2011 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eMarquis de Calon Saint-Estèphe 2011\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is the elegant second wine of Château Calon Ségur, offering a softer, more approachable expression of the estate.

It is rare, authentic and stirs the soul. In the most natural way, it reveals both great delicacy and outstanding intensity. All the magic of Calon is in this balance. The wine is aged in new oak barrels for 20 months, the tannins of the oak integrating harmoniously over time with the tannins of the grapes. The style is brought by a Cabernet Sauvignon which expresses its finesse without arrogance. Elegance is to be found everywhere, in the purity of the wine’s flavours, in the delicacy of its texture, while its depth and length are also superb.
