Château Calon-Ségur – Saint-Estèphe – Red – 2024:

 

The Essential Saint-Estèphe Experience

The Saint-Estèphe de Calon Ségur is the exceptional third wine from the prestigious Château Calon Ségur, a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification. It represents a fantastic opportunity to experience the iconic Calon Ségur terroir and winemaking finesse at an approachable price point. Sourced primarily from the estate’s younger vines, it benefits from the same highly-regarded clay-gravel soils that define the powerful and structured nature of Saint-Estèphe wines.

Tasting Notes: Structure Meets Elegance

• Color: Deep, vibrant ruby.
• Nose: Fresh and concentrated, offering intense aromas of dark fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) complemented by classic Bordeaux notes of cedar, graphite, and a touch of sweet spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied with the firm structure expected from Saint-Estèphe, yet the tannins are polished and silky. It delivers excellent density, remarkable freshness, and a long, satisfying finish.

Pairing & Enjoyment

This wine is built for early enjoyment but possesses the balance to age gracefully for several years. Decant for an hour and serve at 60°F-64°F (16°C-18°C) alongside your favorite hearty dishes.
