CHATEAU CALON SEGUR, 2010

SAINT-ESTEPHE

"The 2010 vintage shows promise. With Cabernet Sauvignon dominating the blend, the wine displays a dense plum/purple color, accompanied by notes of underbrush, blackcurrant, plum, licorice, smoked charcuterie, and roasted herbs in the background. Full-bodied, moderately tannic, and intended for an extremely long lifespan, this wine will not appeal to those seeking immediate gratification. I expect this wine to close down further in the bottle, and despite its powerful, massive, and structured nature, it will require at least a decade of aging before becoming accessible. This 2010 is another vintage capable of lasting between 35 and 50 years." - 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.
