CHATEAU CALON SEGUR, 2006

SAINT-ESTEPHE

"A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, Calon Ségur 2006 is an elegant and classic wine that represents about 60% of their total production. With a deep ruby color and notes of underbrush, blackcurrant, black cherry, and earth on both the nose and palate, this is a medium- to full-bodied wine. A success for the vintage, it offers good density, moderately high but soft tannins, a seductive texture, and beautiful purity. Expected maturity: 2014-2035." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
If Calon refers to the boat used in the Middle Ages to transport wood from one bank of the Garonne to the other, Ségur comes from Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, who was also the owner of the Châteaux Lafite and Latour. “I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is at Calon,” he used to say. At the end of the 19th century, the Capbern-Gasqueton family acquired the estate, which was purchased in 2012 by the Arkéa group and its subsidiary Suravenir.
