About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Calon-Ségur is the oldest of the leading Saint-Estèphe Châteaux. In the 18th century, the house belonged to the famous Marquis de Ségur and while he proprietor of Lafite and Latour, it was always said that his heart was at Calon. That is why we still see a heart shape on the labels. The 2008 from the northern Médoc is again a wine of purity and strength and will require at least a few years in the cellar to look its best.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, this is an outstanding wine made in a classic style. The tannins are high, but the wine possesses abundant notes of cedar, licorice, underbrush, black currants and cherries. Medium-bodied and dense, but structured and backward (as are most vintages of Calon-Segur), give it 7-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the next 20-25
