History

There are plenty of references to history in the village of Calon, which owes its name to a small boat used in the Middle Ages to transport wood from one bank to another. In the 18th century, Chateau Calon Segur belonged to Nicolas Alexandre de Segur, nicknamed the Prince of the Vines. The heart that adorns Calon’s label recalls the spirituality of this iconic landlord. In 1855, the Chateau acquired the rank of Third Classified Growth. From 1894 to 2012, the property passed from generation to generation in the Gasqueton family. The Chateau was acquired by Suravenir Insurance Group, a branch of the Credit Mutuel Arkea, at the end of 2012. Laurent Dufau was untrusted to the management of the estate, in collaboration with the technical director Vincent Millet. The estate also produces a Second Wine : Le Marquis de Calon Segur.

Terroir & Vinification

The estate benefits from an exceptional terroir on a single block vineyard composed of the 4 classic grape varieties. Its proportion is ideal: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. For several years, the work in the vineyard is focused on the uprooting of the vines of Merlot in favor of Cabernet Sauvignon. The average age of the vines is 22 years old. Winemaking and aging (between 18 and 20 months in 100% new French oak) Calon Segur wines are associated with a strict selection intra-plot to extract the quintessence of this terroir.

Tasting

At the tasting, this Grand Vin de Calon Segur is a reflection of its terroir: authentic and moving. The wines of the estate are wines of great sweetness and exceptional intensity in the mouth with a power and a rare aromatic richness.
