Château Calon-Ségur is the most northerly of the Médoc Grand-Crus Classés and is renowned for wines with excellent depth of fruit and great longevity. The 2001 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and is absolutely perfectly for drinking now. Overshadowed by the blockbuster vintage that preceded it, this offers a medium-bodied, elegant and fragrant wine, with ripe tannins, impressive fruit purity and a long, lingering finish.
