Calon-Ségur is a Third Growth wine estate with one of the greatest terroirs of Saint-Estèphe. In 2012, the property was sold to French insurance company Suravenir, which led to a modernisation of the wine-making facilities. Aged in 100% new oak, the 2021 vintage is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, which attained 12.9% ABV. The nose combines wild berries, plums, rose petals, mixed spices, smoke and hints of graphite. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with beautifully ripe tannins and an exquisitely balanced profile.
