Alcohol: 13.0 %
Grape(s): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
Location: Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France
Tasting Notes: Deep ruby to black-red color. The nose is powerful and classic, with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, tobacco, and hints of spice, truffle, and forest floor. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm but polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savory finish. The 2005 vintage is widely regarded as one of the estate’s strong modern examples, showing both richness and serious aging potential.
Notes: Château Calon-Ségur is a Third Growth in the 1855 classification, and the 2005 was matured for about 18 months in oak, with sources describing a high proportion of new wood. Reported blends vary by source, but the wine is consistently described as Cabernet Sauvignon-led and built for long aging. Several references note that it can remain tightly wound in youth and benefits from extended cellaring.
Food Pairing: Best with roast lamb, beef fillet, game, braised short ribs, and other rich savory dishes.
Winery Story: Château Calon-Ségur is one of the historic estates of Saint-Estèphe and a Third Growth estate in Bordeaux’s 1855 classification. It is known for structured, long-lived wines and a style that combines power, freshness, and classical Médoc character.
