Ch. Calon Ségur, the most northerly of all the Médoc Grands Crus Classés, is the château with a heart on its label. That is because the former owner, Marquis de Ségur, though he owned such Estates as Lafite and Latour, declared, "My heart belongs to Calon." For the last century the Third Growth has been owned by the Gasqueton family.
After the success of the 1995 vintage, another classic wine from Calon Ségur. Full bodied, robust, with masses of sweet fruit, complex palate of dried herbs and Asian spices intermixed with truffles and chocolate overtones. This wine is a sensational effort, fully approachable now, but it will continue to improve with further ageing.
PARKER - The 1996 may not be as profound as I had predicted from cask, but it is an exceptional wine. Dark ruby-coloured, with a complex nose of dried herbs, Asian spices, and black cherry jam intermixed with cassis, it possesses outstanding purity, and considerable tannin in the finish. This classic, medium to full-bodied, traditionally made wine improves dramatically with airing, suggesting it will have a very long life.
