TASTING NOTES: Its dense ruby colour with purple nuances is followed by a nose that reluctantly offers up scents of damp earth, wood smoke, black cherries, cassis, and an exotic Asian spice character. The wine is formidably endowed and broodingly tannic, with noticeable acidity and a structured, nearly impenetrable mouthfeel.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Beef | Lamb | Game meat | Poultry
BRAND NAME: Château Calon Ségur
Château Calon-Ségur is a well-regarded wine estate located in Saint-Estèphe, northern Bordeaux. The château was rated as a third growth in the 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves and is unique in the Médoc as the vineyards are in one single plot surrounded by tall stone walls. The heart-shaped logo of Calon-Ségur represents the love of the former owner, Marquis de Segur, with his famous saying: “I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.”
