The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Located on the most impressive terroir of Saint-Estephe, Château Calon-Ségur remains the most discreet of the Médoc Grands Crus Classés. Yet it produces with unfailing regularity the most seductive wines, with a colossal aging potential and proverbial longevity.
Wine Made from young Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, Le '2019 Red C de Calon Segur offers a harmonious balance between freshness and finesse, a true invitation to pleasure. In the footsteps of the estate's great wine, which is formulated with the same care, it delivers a much more tender and immediate version. Already accessible, carried by delicate and polished tannins, it constitutes a superb value for money considering its pedigree.
Vinification Hand harvested. Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel truncated cone vats. Vatting for 18 to 21 days at a controlled temperature of 25°C. Aged 14 months in three year old barrels.
