Château Calon-Ségur is the most northerly of all the Médoc Grand-Crus Classés, located just to the north of the village of St-Estèphe. The estate`s 74-hectare vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 20% and Cabernet Franc 15%. The 1961 vintage has a mature bouquet, with cedarwood, tobacco, coffee beans and forest floor aromas. The palate is rich and complex, with grippy tannins. Fully evolved but still fresh, it has a generous mouthfeel and long finish.
