The Château Calon-Ségur 1997, from the gravelly hillsides of Saint-Estèphe, reveals notes of cedar, undergrowth and tobacco. On the palate, its taut and mineral texture seduces with its balance and persistence. Perfect for cellaring until 2030, it pairs beautifully with red meats and aged cheeses.
A historic estate of the Médoc, rooted in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, where viticultural heritage has been passed down for centuries with great rigour.
- Terroir: Gravelly and clay-limestone soils of Saint-Estèphe, conferring on the wines a mineral structure and a taut elegance.
- Vinification: A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, aged with patience to reveal the purity of the fruit and the complexity of the tannins.
Tasting notes for Château Calon-Ségur Calon Ségur 1997
To the eye: Garnet red robe with tile-toned highlights, of a silky density and a subtle brilliance.
On the nose: Aromas of dried cedar, blonde tobacco, wild blackberry and forest humus, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of graphite.
On the palate: Velvety and precise texture, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, with a long and slightly spiced finish where liquorice and undergrowth intertwine.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its nuances.
Vintage 1997
A fresh and balanced vintage, where the maturity of the tannins combines with a persistent freshness, typical of the great wines of Saint-Estèphe.
- Aging potential: Ready to drink now.
