Château Calon Ségur, 3ème Cru Classé, St Estèphe,

Madame Gasqueton, the dynamic owner has never experienced such great Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up 65% of the assemblage. The harvest was completed with no stops between Merlot and Cabernet from the 1st – 9th October. 50% élevage in new oak and 25% malolactic fermentation in barrel. Herbs, bilberry and exotic damson dominate this pure concentrated nose. Creamy fruit texture is given focus by explosive tannins. A great Calon – great finesse and purity of fruit on the finish.
