Château Calon-Ségur 3me cru classé, St-Estèphe

Do not let the sentimental heart label fool you. As the northernmost classified growth in the Médoc, Calon-Ségur delivers the most uncompromising, structural muscle in Saint-Estèphe. Technical director Vincent Millet manages a unique terroir of deep gravel over thick clay. Cabernet sauvignon dominates the blend, supported by merlot and cabernet franc. This unique clay base yields a robust, dense profile defined by strict, fine-grained tannins. Expect dark plum, cassis, cedarwood, and graphite, built to outlive the collector.
